Our Little Leach: November Ends, December Begins

Thanksgiving (and really November in general) came and went in the blink of an eye at our house. It was also much different than we had anticipated. Thanks to some pink eye and bronchiolitis diagnosis for James, Turkey Day was spent in the comfort of our own home. We were (and are) thankful for Grandmommy who brought the entire Thanksgiving feast to our house that we were supposed to have at her house. With James being on breathing treatments about every 4 hours, we just couldn't venture far from home. And poor guy was ready for bed at 5pm Thanksgiving night and didn't even partake in the feast. Luckily, he is MUCH better now and lets hope that he stays healthy for Christmas!

We had also planned to surprise Grammy and Grandad with a visit north over Thanksgiving weekend. John took Friday off and we thought we would have the extra long weekend to make the trip north. But, we decided it would probably be best to stay put with James not feeling 100%. Although we missed seeing family, we did enjoy the long weekend at home, just being kind of lazy and doing our own thing. We decorated for Christmas, cleaned, mommy organized the basement, hung outdoor lights, etc. Definitely a productive weekend!

James is busy and on the move. He LOVES the Christmas tree and seeing all of the lights, often commenting "ooooooh" when he sees the Christmas tree. It will definitely be fun to experience Christmas through his eyes this year.

We are anxiously awaiting the holidays and our schedules are crazy. John has another travel trip for work coming up, he's in the final days of his Master's program, we have several holiday parties to attend, and then the holidays with our families. A busy, but fun time ahead!
