So, I'm late with the Thanksgiving post. Shocking, I know. We hosted Thanksgiving for the 3rd (4th? I'm not sure) year in a row. It was a total success. We were so sad that Pop missed out, though! All week, I thought about the things I'm most thankful for. It really can be summed up in two words: family and friends. I love the little family Clark and I have made and I'm looking forward to all the family traditions we will continue to make together. 
How could I not be thankful for this guy? He is so perfect, so handsome, so incredibly brilliant. Really, I could go on. He's healthy, which I'm incredibly thankful for. Sure, learning how to be a parent has been incredibly difficult and I'm not always good at it, but being Hayden's mom is easily the crowning achievement of my life.
I mean, just look him. Toddler perfection.
Check out how determined he is coloring...such drive! Hey Baylor, give this kid a scholarship!
An artiste! And ambidextrous! Seriously Baylor, give us $$!
Have I mentioned he's technologically savvy?
Yes, that's Hayden working the iPad. God help us. Thanks for that one, Grammy.
Since I started the post out sappy, I'll end sappy too. I'm so thankful for all my friends. I have amazing friends. Friends who are willing to spend a few hours discussing the finer points of Harry Potter, friends who are separated by many miles but always seem close, and friends who are my Mommy Yodas. Each one challenges me and makes me laugh. No need for an exhaustive list, they know who they are! And to keep it Hayden-centric, Hayden loves them too!
