I am officially that mom who can't put up a blog post to save my life. I have thought about this post since Sunday. I've tried to get the pictures uploaded 3 different times but a special little boy keeps taking my attention- and to be honest, I don't mind one bit. So you will have to forgive me for my lack of posts lately- I'm sure you have kept yourself entertained in other ways.
So last week was Thanksgiving and the wonderful 4 day weekend! I really even love that Wednesday before Thanksgiving too- it is slow and quiet and the anticipation of the weekend to come is upon us! On Wednesday, my mother-in-law brought breakfast which was a great start to the holiday! Coffee and muffins and some snuggling time with Colin.
My dad bought Colin this John Deere onesie when he was born- since he is a 'farmer' now. And I had to make sure to get a picture of Colin and his grandpa while the onesie still fits!
But the best part of last Wednesday was it Ryan and my 3 year anniversary! I can't believe how quickly the last 3 years went by. I seriously feel like we just bought our house, planned the wedding and got home from our honeymoon. Our wedding day is still the best day of my life! I know what you are thinking- what about the day Colin was born? But Colin wouldn't be here unless November 27, 2010 happened so I have to say the day we said "I do" is still #1. Love you babe!
We celebrated with dinner at home: salmon, brussel sprouts, and french bread. AND we popped a bottle of wine from Bordeaux, France. Yummy! We enjoyed time on the new porch with the Christmas tree lights and sleeping baby- for an hour. It was joyous!
Thursday was Thanksgiving and we started the day making lots of appetizers for my parents' house while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade! I LOVE the parade and I CANNOT wait until Colin is older and will watch it with us!
We headed to my parents house for lunch and later to Ryan's mom's house for dinner. Lots of eating, family, cooing over Colin, and many diaper changes! I was really bad about taking pictures on Thanksgiving- I was seriously just enjoying our son and his first holiday. But I did get this family picture-- with Colin's HUGE stretch!
And when we got home, someone passed out immediately!
On Friday I had to forgo the Black Friday shopping which is a family tradition. But I just figured with a less than 2 month old baby- my sleep is minimal as it is and feedings happen so frequently that I just couldn't do it. Friday evening we went to the Wild game with Gavin and Trisha while Papa Bill babysat.
We started at the St Paul hotel for drinks and appetizers. A little date night.
And I got to see Kathryn since she was at the game too! I so wish California wasn't so far away but loved the ice cream treats we quickly shared during the break at the game!
Saturday started like this...
We headed to Jaxon's all-conference bowling tournament. Colin slept thru the whole thing. There were so many people there that I couldn't even see when Jaxon bowled but I could see the screen which read the scores so I at least knew when he had a strike!
Saturday night was the annual Holidazzle high school girls event! I have the world's best group of girl friends from high school. We have made it a Christmas tradition to go to the Holidazzle and dinner, complete with an ornament exchange! It was so awesome that everyone was home- Tracy was back from Texas and Sydney was home from Chicago! I absolutely love these girls!
Sunday was a lazy day and by lazy I mean- eat, play, poop, sleep, poop, eat, poop, play, sleep... repeat.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!
As a side note- I will likely be blogging less until after the New Year. A few posts here and there but I will be a better blogger in 2014. Until then I am soaking up time with Colin and enjoying the Christmas season!
With love,
