Happy Thanksgiving!




We had another fabulous Thankgiving at my parents house! This was the 35th year that they hosted...and sadly the last Thankgiving in the house on Portland...but the food was fantastic and it was fun to spend some time w/ family!

This weekend we've been busy busy busy with lots of projects around the house. We organized Max's toys and moved them all into my office and made room in there to set up a little area just for Max.

Then we put up all of our holiday decorations. Max is loving all the lights and "helped" me trim the tree. I say "help" because he really enjoyed throwing the balls around. :)

And today we went and purchased Papa a new desk and a shelving system so that we can get rid of his old tacky stuff. He had been using a bunch of mix and match stuff and it's been driving us both nuts how tacky it looks down the basement...so we went to Ikea and purchased some nice looking things that were within a reasonable price range. Ikea is always so busy...it was definitely an adventure.

Brad has been so GREAT about helping me with Max, our projects, and cleaning around the house this weekend. It's really been great. I think he's realized how uncomfortable I am and he just jumped in and hasn't even asked me if I need help...he's just been doing it. In fact...I don't think I've changed a diaper in 2 whole days...this is a record!! What a fabulous husband I have!! He's even put Max to bed the past 2 nights and I haven't even had to ask...what a lucky girl I am! I might get used to getting spoiled like this...with the long weekend. Monday might come waaaaaay too soon! :)

Well, Max is in bed...I'm almost done getting our holiday boxes and stuff ready to be stored down the basement until we have to pack it all up...and Papa is down the basement working on his office set up...so I think I'll go and check in on him.

We hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and stuffed their bellies with lots of good food and filled their hearts with fabulous family time!
