Happy Thanksgiving!

This week the kids have off all week and we are enjoying some time just relaxing and doing playdates and sleepovers! AJ had two this week already! What fun! I remember having sleepovers all the time as a child with one particular friend and they hold many special memories for me! It is so nice for AJ to be able to get away and have girl time because she rarely gets an more than an hour or so to herself as I need to put one of the boys down for a nap in that same room. So...my mommy heart feels so good that she has had some nice time with friends this week. We will watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving tonight and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow morning. Then Daddy will fry the turkey and we will cook a bunch of our favorite dishes and have a relaxing day of eating and being together. This is our first year not going somewhere or having anyone over, but with the busyness of the last few months, it's nice to not have to take food somewhere and just be in the comfort of our own home...at least for one year! It's not like us to not want to be with lots of people, but I know we can definitely use some just us 5 time! Darien has been walking now for a few weeks and he is almost ready to run and keep up with AJ and Keenan! He has 8 teeth already and is babbling lots. He'll probably have a few words by his first birthday which is quickly approaching! This year has just flown by but we have really enjoyed watching our babies grow and learn new things every day! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We truly have so much to be thankful for...miss all of you on the East Coast, but are so glad not to be in those frigid temperatures!
