Thanksgiving began for us with a celebration/feast at Ryan's preschool. This is pretty much what Ryan looks like during any performance. He gets a little stone-faced in front of large groups. It was still cute :)
This was the place-mat that he made for the feast. Even though the name is spelled wrong, it's super sweet that when asked what/who he was thankful for, he chose to say his little brother.
The boys & I were fortunate enough to spend 10 days in CT with my family over Thanksgiving while we had some work done on our current house and Mason stayed home to supervise & work. Unfortunately, there was a fair amount of illness in my little family, but we had a good time anyway!
An extra special part of this trip was getting to meet my precious niece, Gwendolyn. We weren't sure if we would get to meet her at all that trip, as she wasn't due until the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but she made a surprise appearance (in true daughter-of-two-actors dramatic form!) a month early, so we were anxious & excited to meet her... not to mention photograph her!
Gwen, at 3 weeks old
Proud parents:
Kaeden is very into babies right now, so he was especially thrilled to meet his little baby cousin. Maybe he's just glad that he's not the youngest anymore!
Thanksgiving day itself was wonderful, as we had our traditional dinner with my grandmother, aunt & uncle, and my cousin Sara. Aunt Monica was happy to give Kaeden his first taste of pumpkin pie. He liked it more than his brother, who put himself clearly in the pecan pie grouping.
Gwen's first Thanksgiving
All in all, it was a great trip and a nice opportunity to get away and escape the chaos of home. And the sunsets? Awesome!
