Here Comes Santa Claus!

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I have so much to be thankful for this year -- a happy, healthy little boy; an understanding, patient, and loving husband; the ability to stay at home with Aidan; an adorable new nephew; a wonderful family who has shown us so much support this year; great friends -- just to name a few. On Thanksgiving Day, Brandon, Aidan, and I stayed home and had a nice, quiet family dinner. Brandon fried a turkey (a first for him which turned out delicious), I made mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cornbread, and baked an apple pie. I also made Aidan some homemade sweet potatoes which he turned his nose up at. I just can't make it like Gerber I guess. 

I can't believe it is almost Christmas! This year has flown by. I'm so excited to celebrate this year with Aidan. Santa is going to come visit us for the first time in several years! We went and picked out a little Christmas tree this weekend. Aidan loved the lights and enjoyed watching us decorate. We also went to get pictures made with Santa. Aidan was not a fan. He stared at him with wide scarred eyes and then the lip turned under and there were tears. 

In addition to visiting Santa and decorating for Christmas, we have had an eventful few weeks. Aidan is sitting up! And he got his first tooth!
