Thanksgiving

So I'm about a week late with this post (once again I have been a bad blogger...my goal is to do much better!), but we had a great Thanksgiving. Unfortunately the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Jared's grandma passed away. She was 95 years old and lived a long fulfilling life! So it was a bitter sweet week. This is a pic we got with Cole, Jared and his grandma this summer



Last week was just crazy! Monday and Tuesday we drove back and forth an hour away for the funeral. Then on Thursday we went to my families for Thanksgiving and Friday to his families for Thanksgiving. Phew!! I am a huge stickler for Cole's schedule, so I thought I was going to go crazy. But I am so proud of Cole. He went without some naps, but did amazing. Of course by the time it was time to leave....he was done. But still, he was such a good boy! So on top of his schedule being out of whack, he is teething. Yup, working on his top teeth:( So he isn't eating well at all.

We tried giving Cole some of his first "table" foods. Yeah, he HATED them. He was so ticked we messed with his food. Fortunately both dinners I brought him some puree's. Of course I brought sweet potatoes and squash to keep in the holiday mode:) I must say, at the funeral, the puffs were a life saver. He was in a super "I want to talk" mood. So I kept the puffs close by and would give them to him when he got a little too social:)

K mom, I'm all done now!!

Some of my family (my bro and his family weren't there for dinner)

My dad and nephew playing with Cole

The cutest pic of my nephew and Cole

My parents (and their dogs) with Cole

I didn't get any pics at the in laws because he was a very busy boy trying to get into everything. And I did not go black friday shopping this year. I am actually done with all of Cole's Christmas shopping! I usually wait until the week before Christmas to even start shopping, so this is HUGE for me:) Now just a few more things to get for family.
