Thanksgiving

This is my first post at this blog. I think I am going to enjoy blogspot. It's linked to my google account so it makes for easy posting. Let me just say that I LOVE google. How did we ever survive without google?

Now on to more important things. I know why all of you are here reading this blog. It's to find out about baby boy and what went on this Thanksgiving. There really isn't much that went on but I will do my best to fill you in.

We went to my aunts house to celebrate turkey day this year. I believe at last count there were 67 people at her house. There was so much food and great conversation. I got so see some of my far away cousins and visit with some old friends. Hubby got to watch football games and cheer with the guys. Best of all Baby Boy was passed around to everyone and I got to take a rest from holding him! I love holding my baby but he is getting so big now that it's really tiring! He got passed from one set of arms to the other and he didn't cry once. He's such a good boy.

I was also able to get a picture of all the great-grandkids with my grandparents. I can't wait to print them out and put them in Baby Boy's baby book. It really is special that he gets to have great-grandparents around. I never did. Hubby has great-grandparents that he NEVER sees!!! That is so wild to me. My family is so tight knit that it's hard for me to understand that.

Today Hubby worked outside on the back yard almost all day. My dad came over with his chain saw and ladder and helped him to cut back the tree from the neighbors yard that is taking over our yard. It was a big project but they got it done. It's amazing how that one little thing improved the look of our yard already. We have both made a promise to each other that every Sunday it's not raining we will work in the backyard at least 3 hours. This way we figure by spring our backyard will be ready for new plants and look fantastic!

That's pretty much been our life as of late. Tomorrow we head to my parent's house for second thanksgiving. I am really excited for this! It's the day that my immediate family gets together to really enjoy each other and this way my mom gets some left overs :) It's also the day that we pick secret santa's. I am really excited about that. Yay for Christmas shopping!! I love buying presents!!! Can't wait to start decorating my house and showing Baby Boy just how fun Christmas is.

Adios dear readers. Tomorrow I update about Baby Boy getting bigger :)
