Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay!

Yes, it's been a while. Things have been hectic lately. I'll start with Larson's first Thanksgiving. My sister came to town for a bit to hang out. We invited our friends Jamie & Mike Maresca and Olivia & Brandon Hardy over for dinner. We all had a great time. Best of all Auntie Nique gave Jason and me a date night. We went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, The Four Winds. We then went to see "Unstoppable."

Here are Nique, Jamie, and Olivia.

Here are the guys, Brandon, Jason and Mike.

And here's our family Thanksgiving photo.

Looks easy, huh? Well, these are the unofficial Thanksgiving family photos.

Larson and I went home to visit my Grandparents. My Granddad was in the hospital and we went to visit him everyday. And that's my sis, not me.

Here's Larson with his Granddad. He was throwing an absolute fit because Mommy put him down to eat dinner. After a few minutes of wailing, there was silence. I peeked my head out of the kitchen and this is what I saw. He fell asleep on his Granddad's lap.

Now that Larson is pretty mobile, he and Sandy fight for Jason's attention when he comes home.

Larson's eating real food now. He grabs a handful and only a little bit makes it into his mouth. It's fun to watch. And Sandy enjoys the bits that land on the floor.

Every year, Santa comes through the neighborhood on a fire truck. We ran outside when we heard the sirens this past Saturday. Larson got to wave to Santa. Mommy was late with the camera. You can see the trucks in the distance.

And here's a random photo of Larson sleeping. I check in on him before I leave for work in the morning. This is what I saw Thursday morning.
