Giving Thanks

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did. The short week was nice, too.

One night this week Kasper came running out to me saying he had his pjs on. He was giggling so hard I knew something was up.



He is so silly. He still wears diapers to bed, but stays dry during naps! Overnights and poops are still in progress.

The latest silly sleeping positions





Thanksgiving morning, we woke up early and headed downtown so Rob and Kasper could run in the Turkey Trot. Rob ran the adults race while Kasper and I played at the children's carnival. Kasper doesn't really jump into playing; he generally awkwardly stands around other kids and doesn't say anything. After the adult race, the kids ran their own little race! They separated the kids based on age. It was cute seeing Kasper follow directions and do a group event like this.


He looks so LITTLE! It was 3,4 and 5 year olds in his group.

He was a very good listener. He followed right behind the leader and even marched up the stairs like a big kid. He was a little unsure at first and wanted to know where we were but it didn't last long and he totally owned it.

The start. Kasper isn't in this pic, I don't think. I couldn't find him!






He did AWESOME and he loved it! Rob got a video. He was one of the last kids but he was trying so hard. We love that video.


We went to my aunt and uncle's for Thanksgiving and had a great time with family. I hadn't seen one uncle in 3+ years! After dinner, we headed home, got the boy in the tub and Grandma Sandra got here! She brought him back up to St. Cloud until Saturday morning. We were able to do some Black Friday shopping and got some "last minute" things done for the baby. Though I fully understand I have a lifetime before she comes. While Kasper was at Grandma's he had a play date with a friend his age - Addy. Looks like they had fun!






We met them for breakfast Saturday morning. Kasper did NOT want us to be there nor to go home with us. He eventually agreed. Glasses were involved.




After his nap, he wanted to list all of the things he drinks.


A jam session before dinner




Today was our usual Sunday. Pancake breakfast, toys, laundry, getting into a plastic bin with the dog.



Is she not the most patient dog ever?? Look at her face! Haha!

We watched the Vikings win in overtime, enjoyed some buffalo wings and ate some delicious soup. Sundays don't get much more relaxed than this.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
