I party like a rock star!

Alistair absolutely refused to miss a minute of our family fun and so he did not nap all day on Thanksgiving and even managed to stay up for a few hot rounds of Taboo (but barely). The amazing thing was that he then proceeded to sleep through the night and was even still sleeping when I got up the next morning. I was so amazed, I took a picture.

Alistair had his first Thanksgiving at Honey and Pappa's in Susanville. Here are the pics from our trip.

Santa's Little Helper

This week we took Ali to Sears to get his holiday photo. As you can see from the pictures, the experience was a roller coaster of emotion. But I get it. For a baby, a photo session at Sears is like being on acid. You are stuck in a room tinged with a faint hint of baby poo, bright lights flashing everywhere as an ominous black robot on stilts provides the feeling that dark forces are at work here. You look to your right and there's your mom on the sidelines sweating and grinning unnaturally big, shouting words of encouragement while a woman in a clown wig is whirring and clucking behind the black robot and waving a fushia teddy bear. Behind you is a winter wonderland but you can't play in it or make snow angels, and it's 80 degrees.

We did get one good shot though (not featured here) which we will be including with the Christmas letter.

Bath Time

And one day we'll look back and say "You use to fit in the sink!"
