November 22nd – 24th: Thanksgiving Weekend



Thursday, November 22nd
We spent Thanksgiving day at home as a family and it was awesome!  Lots of time to play, relax, and cook our yummy feast.  I absolutely love our families traditional Thanksgiving recipes and look forward to making them every year.  And then proceed to stuff myself for days!!!

Landen is very thankful for Nala

Just chillin’


Yikes, devil baby!  I know he’s just throwing the ball for Nala but the look on his face is terrifying!

Playtime in the backyard to run off some energy




Where’s the turkey??



It’s almost turkey time!!!!!

Daddy’s putting the last touches on the feast


Landen’s first Thanksgiving meal


He loved it all.  Ate every last morsel on the plate.  We couldn’t believe it.

Daddy torturing Nala and at the same time showing was a good dog she it.

After dinner it was time to relax and spend some more time together.

We drove to Pomona where my family was camping for the weekend.  They held a baby shower for my cousin Michael and his wife Heather and then we got to hang out a visit.  Landen got a late birthday present too!  In the evening some of the group went kayaking on the lake.  Such a nice day!

November 18th – Santa pictures with Jessica Lake



We were so looking forward to getting Landen’s pictures taken with Santa.  Jessica’s set was darling and Santa was amazing.  Unfortunately, Landen was completely freaked out by him.  I feared this may be the case.  Even though Landen was upset in all his pictures, they still turned out really cute and now we have something to tease him about when he’s older. :)

John and I were lucky enough to attend a special showing of one of the test airplanes John is the Quality Engineer for.  It landed at the Long Beach airport and we were able to check it out and see our hardware.





That night it was time to unwind!
