Thanksgiving weekend...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! We have so much to be thankful for this year. We are blessed to have Brayden in our lives. We are also truly blessed to have such great family and friends. We have felt everyones love and support over the past few weeks and we are forever grateful.

We had a big weekend of introducing Brayden to most of our immediate family. We did the trip between my grandma's house in Chicago to Jon's grandmas' house in Auburn. Brayden did really well on the 3 hour car ride. I think he got passed around a little too much though because our first night at Jon's parents house was not a good one at all. He was completely over tired and didn't sleep for us at all. Every time we laid him down he was up ten minutes later screaming at the top of his lungs. Luckily he made up for it the next day and slept most of the day and the remaining nights he was much better.

Brayden had his first black Friday with mommy, Aunt Jamie, and Grandma Patty. I thought it was a good idea because he was sleeping, but I was wrong. First off, most of the time Jon is in charge of the stroller and car seat. So when it was my turn, I didn't remember my tutorial from Jon so it took a long time out in the cold to try to figure out how to attach the car seat to the stroller. Second, it was really crowded. We didn't get out until 9 am and there were already tons of people out shopping. Third, I forgot the logistics of a stroller and how we needed to take the elevator to go up or down. What a bad shopping trip and the worst part is that I only bought ONE thing. Not a good trip at all. I learned my lesson, no more black Friday shopping with a baby.

Overall Brayden was really good on our trip. He loves to be held and be put to sleep. We are actually going to try it again this upcoming weekend. Jon has to go to Indy for work for a few days, so we are going to tag along for the ride and visit our friends in Indy. My goal right now is just to try and get some stuff done around the house. For some reason nothing ever gets done during the day. My mom is going to come up for a couple of days to help out and let us get some rest. We are super excited about that.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

You would think that we don't feed the kid since he's eating his arm!
