this year, we had 3 thanksgiving feasts.. ha ha... the first one was on thursday - with my dad, my sister and her family and william's parents. the food was courtesy of Whole Foods. unfortunately, i overheated the turkey so it was a little dry, but everything else was fairly good. william's mom also brought a lot of food - she said she would bring one dish, but she brought four. unfortunately william's parents took off first and we forgot to ask them to stay to take a picture.
on friday, my sister and her family came out again so we could all spend some time with my mom. that was nice to see her kids again, especially princess ariana (my favorite neice :)
she is so precocious! and precious too! as you can see baby cousin joshua is asleep in his car seat. he is so good about sleeping in his car seat. we should train thomas more on that... would definitely make life easier.
on friday evening, we went over the johnny & betty's place for their amazing thanksgiving spread. they always cook up a storm for all of us - especially nice for those that don't have family around (like them, and the lu's). it was nice to see everyone and the babies were having a good time too. they were all grouped around the coffee table like little teletubbies. dylan was dancing to "we will rock you". hilarious!
random picture of thomas sitting in the laundry basket. he tried to climb out shortly after and did a hard face plant into the floor. gave him a nice big bruise on the forehead just in time for thanksgiving. :)-------------other news--------------
my mom has come to stay with us for the holidays. she has some odd "preferences" when she is here (like locks on her door) but otherwise, it will be nice having someone watch Thomas while i eat and take showers, etc. it will probably be a week or two. we'll see if she wants to stay through christmas or not.
wow christmas is only 4 weeks away! this year has FLOWN by....
----------thomas updates----------
two weeks ago he got his first cold. it wasn't that bad, but his nose would switch between really stuffed up and really drippy. so when he was eating, poor little baby had to stop chewing to open his mouth and breath. i felt so bad. you really do want to take all of the bad stuff for your baby so they don't have to suffer. here he is taking a break to breath... too funny. i put on sesame street so he would not be as fussy while eating. he is usually good while he eats, but the cold made him very fussy. it is a whole new experience for him, not being able to breath through his nose.
also, he has 6 teeth now! the last two nights he has been very restless in his sleep, crying a little here and there because it is not comfortable. william has been a real trouper, comforting him as much as he can so that i get to sleep in! :) and we give him baby tylenol before bedtime.
oh and the best news - william only has 2 and a half more weeks of school to go and he is done. completely done. with a new set of letters to add after his name :). yay all around! counting the days down....
