thanksgiving.

we spent thanksgiving in vegas this year. after a weekend celebrating the return of my nephew from this mission max and i spent the rest of the week at my brother's. unfortunately i was sick most of the time so we did not leave his house most of the week. max spent hours and hours playing with his cousins and loved every minute of it.

{he actually fell asleep like this one morning, i watched him for the longest time

because i was convinced it was impossible to stay asleep like that...}

{and then i decided that must be uncomfortable}

{he had so much fun with all of his cousins toys.

and where are the pictures of him with his cousins? well i am sad to say that i took NONE!}

{thanksgiving day was spent with grandma pam}

{where we decorated a gingerbread house...}

{and then ate some.}

{then discovered new places to play with his cousin, zander}

{on the way home we stopped to cut down our christmas tree. where we learned that wild christmas

trees are very different than trees on lots. but we found the perfect one to take home.}

{and max thought it was SO fun!}
