Happy Thanksgiving!


This year we have so much to be thankful for. First we are very thankful for Jesus saving us from our sins and knowing we will go to Heaven someday. We are also thankful for our health, our family and friends, our possessions and of course our wonderful little boy!

For Halloween I dressed Mayson in a Halloween themed outfit that week. I did the same thing for Thanksgiving Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! I couldn't resist.

Tuesday we went to Mops. This is my second time going as we have just joined and I am really enjoying it. There are a few other babies Mayson's age in the group so I am happy he will grow up having a few friends. He wore his first Thanksgiving outfit to Mops and got lots of attention in it!

On Wednesday, we got to join Matt's family's side in their annual trip to Incredible Pizza Company. Matt's cousins and Aunt from Kentucky come, his sister and her kids, his grandma, his aunt,  and his parents all come and we have a fun day! Unfortunately our nephews had strep throat and were unable to join us. I usually work the night before so it was nice for me to be able to join! We had alot of fun. This was the FIRST time that I have been upset to go outside to feed Mayson. I am uncomfortable feeding him in public (Even with the cover) but it was so cold as we ran to the car, that I seriously considered just feeding him inside next time.

Thursday was Thanksgiving!!! I worked Wednesday night (As always), and we hosted Matt's family side so I first came home and took a nap. Matt's family cooked and set up while I napped and when I woke up it was ready to go. We had about 45 people in our house so it was pretty busy, but lots of fun. Mayson was a hit and was passed around pretty frequently. He didn't mind getting held most of the day though. After everyone left, we went to my step-dad's girlfriends side to show Mayson off. I was pretty paranoid about handwashing since I really don't know them which got me a lot of weird looks, but I don't mind whatever is safest for my boy!

Thanksgiving Kisses for me! (Notice him laughing)
After I got Mayson put to bed thursday, I went shopping for a little black friday shopping with my sister. I was able to basically finish shopping for Mayson (Need to get him two more things) and also got Matt a few things. Not much left to do, most of which are crafts for other people so I'm almost done!! After a nap we got up and headed to Rushville to see my family side for our Thanksgiving tenderloins! A few members of my family hadn't met Mayson yet so I was happy to be able to show him off and let them meet him. Again, he was a hit! We must have worn him out  because that night he slept from 9-345, ate and slept until 645 which hasn't happened in at least a month! I will take it!
Family Picture. I am so thankful for these boys!

Uncle Keyen had Knee surgery Wednesday so he felt pretty bad, but lit up for Mayson!

Saturday I got the stomach bug and was pretty much confined to my bed. Matt and Mayson went to another side of my family's for a little while, while I laid around whiney! Despite being sick, we had a really great weekend.  I am so thankful for the great family we have and all the fun we got to have this Thanksgiving. As always, I will be looking forward to next year!
