Thanksgiving

I have been meaning to get this updated since Thanksgiving, tells you how much is going on here. I just don't seem to get around to it. Thanksgiving went off without a hitch, of course I was only cooking the desserts so that wasn't difficult. We had a really good day with Roger's family. Brayden had lots of people willing to entertain him for hours. In fact he went without a nap all day because we wanted him to take advantage of cousins being here that he doesn't get to see very often. He rose to the occasion without having fits or anything. Its actually really a blessing that he doesn't seem to have many meltdowns in public due to lack of sleep. They do happen at home, but not usually in public. That is a very nice thing!! He didn't really eat much for either meal, too much action I would suppose. If I remember correctly, he made up for it the next day. We spent Friday here at home and then headed up to Grandpa and Granny's for the weekend. Of course up there, Brayden had plenty of people willing to entertain. Even Daddy was willing to entertain, but Brayden wasn't wanting Daddy to bother. He spent a lot of time telling Daddy "NO", wanting Papa and Aunt Jean to fill in instead. Even mama was allowed to get in on the action, just not daddy.

After coming home Sunday we started the "coming down" process. It took a day or two to get him back to normal. I think he decided that mama and daddy are just BORING when its just us. Now things are normal again and he is finding ways to have fun while we are busy. We got some snow on Saturday, so Daddy took him out sledding yesterday and again just a little bit before lunch. It was warm enough for him to be outside for awhile before lunch, so he was out for an hour or so and Daddy played with him for the last 25 min before lunch. As long as I get him dressed warm enough I think he will love playing even when its cold. We have noticed that he likes to go to the shop more now with it being cold. Beats staying in the house all day long!!

We are looking forward to X-mas!! Uncle Bobby should be joining our household sometime in the next week or so, and Aunt Amity is coming home on the 21st. Of course we have just seen Aunt Jean at thanksgiving, but she will be coming home too. It will be nice to all be together again for several days. Happy Holidays to all!!
