Happy Thanksgiving

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving!!! Mark & I took the days off before the Holiday so we could spend a week up in NY.

We left Friday afternoon and made our way north, stopping in Wilkes-Barre. Saturday morning we got up and continued our drive up to Syracuse. We got there and met Mom, Ashley, and Allison at our hotel and loaded up Jim's stuff in their car, and went to Varsity for some lunch. After we were done eating we said our good-bye's to Jim and he drove back to Buffalo and spent the night there. It was our first time leaving Jim overnight, and I think everyone did just fine. Jim had a great time hanging out with Grandma, Papa, and his two wonderful aunts; and despite a Syracuse loss, Mark & I had a great time up in the 'Cuse!

We spent Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning at home in Buffalo. Jim learned to crawl!!! As mom calls it, he's doing the army crawl. He's definitely on the move now! Wednesday afternoon we made our way up to Castile to spend the rest of the week up there. In the evening there was a little party for Jim, so the neighbors could stop by and meet him. Jim did wonderful there!

Thursday was his first Thanksgiving!!! He did great all day! And enjoyed a taste of turkey, as well as squash, mashed potatoes, and applesauce! Jim and Maddie got along great too!

It was sad Sunday morning when our vacation time was coming to an end, and we had to get on the road to make our way back home. We had a great time visiting with everyone! And can't wait to do it all over again during Christmas!
