Wow! What a fun and busy Thanksgiving break. It all started with Aunt Sarah arriving on the red eye Wednesday morning. She "worked" (but mostly played with James) from our house all day and then that night we went to a fun party at Hacienda where we saw The Fontanelle's (my brother-in-laws band) and DJ B Rich. Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving at my sister's for brunch and then my aunt's house for dinner. After gorging all day and night we were pretty tired so we crashed kinda early. Friday we had a happy hour that lasted until 3 a.m. at our place. It was fun catching up with Kristyn (from L.A.) and Joel & Alicia (from NYC). Saturday we had my BFF, Anna's bridal shower, Turkey Day celebrations at my aunt Susie's house and then that night an 80s themed bachelorette party. It was a blast from the past. Here's a group shot. Anna wore a full on tacky 80s wedding dress and all the girls wore 80s style prom dresses. It was so much fun. We stayed out until 2:30 a.m.! Sunday was low key for me. Brian and Sarah went to the Rams game (Sarah won tix the first night she was in town). Then we chilled out and watched a movie together. It was a FUN break! Thank goodness Christmas break is only 22 days away...James misses his Aunt Sarah!
Aunt Sarah just arrived from LA with a gift for James! She recently went to Hawaii for her birthday and picked up this Big Kahuna number while in Kona. James is having SO much fun with his awesome Aunt. She has already taken 50 pics. Let the fun begin! Happy Turkey Day everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted some of James' new talents: 1. Smiles all the time 2. Has started to scream with excitement (very loud, but very cute!) 3. Puts hands in mouth and just about anything within reach 4. Can now roll to the side and back again 5. Can sit up in the Bumbo chair 6. Sleeps 11 hours straight through the night (God LOVE him!) 7. Has discovered that bath time can be fun when you splash and kick (I must post a video of this soon) 8. Can see much farther distance now and has recently discovered Grizzo, the cat 9. Notices himself in the mirror 10. Has lots of conversations with us (still says "Laaa") 11. Starting to laugh (it sounds like a cough, it's so cute!) 12. Growing very quickly these days (had to put away all newborn clothes because he has outgrown everything) mostly in length, he's still skinny 13. Can put all of his weight on his little legs and stand with help for a long time
