Thanksgiving Weekend. . .

Playing on Thanksgiving morning at Michael and Krista's

JJ trying to play with the older boys before Thanksgiving dinner

"Helping" Krista wrap Christmas presents after a successful Black Friday shopping trip for the girls!

Bedtime books, some of the boys favorite : )

Fun with bubbles, until Tristan dumped the bubble mix out on the ground so that JJ wouldn't be able to play with them!

Eating a bubble wand, gross!

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend up in LA. Tristan has been sick so he went through some funny stages all weekend; he tolerated JJ, and didn't want JJ to be around him, and also secretly played with him when he thought no one was watching! It's so fun to see the boys growing up together.

This was the first Thanksgiving that Brian and I have been apart since we got married and the first holiday for him to not be with JJ, so it was hard for all three of us. He also said "Dadda" about 3 million times this weekend which I think was emotional for all of us : ( We are very blessed though to have Michael and Krista live close, plus Tristan and JJ get into lots of trouble together, so that keeps me partially distracted! JJ also tortured Michael all weekend with touching the TV and standing on the heater vent. The best part was that JJ would just smile at him since he knew he wasn't supposed to be doing it!

After a weekend of JJ screaming and crying for every nap, he slept the whole way home this afternoon and is now sleeping soundly. He hasn't been better with nighttime sleeping, but my goal for the next month is to somehow "fix" the problem! We'll see how that goes. . .
