The Busiest Thanksgiving Ever!

Our little family was blessed with FIVE delicious Thanksgiving meals!

We started on the Sunday before Thanksgiving at our annual 1st Youth Thanksgiving Dinner. It is a pot-luck style meal so all of the students and their families are in charge of bringing a side dish or a dessert. It is always fun to taste different homemade recipes and we definitely tasted our fair share of food that night!

Tuesday night we had a "Friendsgiving Dinner" with several of our friends. We were each in charge of bringing something to contribute to the meal. We had so much fun and laughed so hard that I was in tears!

We went to Blake's grandmother's house on Thursday. Caden was able to meet several family members for the first time that afternoon and the food was delicious!

On Friday, we went to my mom's house to enjoy another meal. My cousin, her husband, her adorable daughter, and her sweet niece were able to eat with us. It was the first time they were able to see Caden and I'm glad they were able to meet.

Finally, we drove to Kansas City to see my dad on Friday night. We spent the night there and had yet another Thanksgiving meal on Saturday. Caden was able to meet even more of his relatives. I accidentally left my camera at home so I am sad to say that I didn't get any pictures while we were there.

Caden's First Bites

Caden tried out his first solid food (if you can call rice cereal solid food) on November 13th. He didn't know what to think about it at first, but now he eats his rice cereal every day and loves it!

Family Pictures

I have been such a lazy blogger lately! We have been really busy this month. At the beginning of the month Blake's brother, Cole, took our first family pictures! He did such a great job that I have already replaced the majority of the pictures in our house! Here are just a few of our favorites:

Our Halloween Festivities

Caden dressed up as Rex from Toy Story for Halloween. Is he not the cutest little dinosaur you have ever seen? We went to our church's Halloween carnival last night. There wasn't much Caden could do, but he enjoyed all of the attention.
He put up with the costume a lot better than I expected, but he did get sick of the headpiece after awhile.
On Friday, Blake and I went to a Murder Mystery Party with some of our friends. It was a masquerade theme. I played a seasoned astronaut and Blake was the owner of a dry cleaners. We had so much fun and luckily I wasn't the one to die this year!

Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone has a spooktacular day!

Caden Giggles!

I was able to get another video of Caden giggling. He has only laughed a few times so I am surprised that I have been able to capture it on film twice! Caden is so much fun right now. He is growing so fast and learning new things every day. I just want time to slow down so that I can soak all of him in!
