Thanksgiving Round Up

What melts a mama’s heart more…When her big brother comes in town to visit and her little boy just loves him again.  They don’t see each other very often, so I always hope that Mason isn’t afraid of him.  He was instantly interested in his Uncle Eric. He was smiling and giggling and had so much fun with him.  Now he will be back for Christmas and I am sure it will be more of the same.

This is Mason in his highchair after eating his Thanksgiving dinner.  He was ready for a nap, just like the rest of us. Our Thanksgiving day was interesting.  About 30 minutes before our food was ready our electricity went out.  Panic.  We ran to my brother’s house to see if his electricity was out. He has a house close to my parents.  His was out too.  So, what do we do, but go to the liquor store.  Luckily, it was back on in an hour and so we ate at 1:00 instead of 12:30.Thanksgiving food is SOOOOO Good!!After lunch, I put Mason down for a nap and then what happens…our electricity goes out again.  What to do…what to do? Play a nice game of family Risk.  We played this a lot when in high school. I played with my brother and his friends and I played with my friends. Fun times!Mason woke up from his nap and so we had to teach him how to play. Teach them young. I should add that I won…hehe! The key is always Australia.Trouble trouble trouble!!! TV is going on the wall. We have been looking for a new media console for our living room since we moved in and that’s why the TV isn’t on the wall yet.This is how Thanksgiving weekend ended. I ran out of diapers and ran to Target. When I walked in with these boxes, Mason went crazy for them. Can’t wait for him to open his toys at Christmas and play with the boxes.
