Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Chris' parents home along with about 15 other people.

One of the children there was Masha, daughter of family friends, who is three weeks older than John. It was sweet to watch them, perhaps not play with each other, but play near each other.
Since I will be out of town with John on his actual birthday, we took advantage of the family gathering to celebrate John's upcoming first birthday. Sadly, the light in the room was a bit dim, so while the still photographs came out bright enough, the video we took is nearly black. On the bright side (ha ha), John has two more upcoming family birthday parties, so I will capture better video tape next time.

John did not seem to notice any hubbub surrounding himself. He did disintegrate the yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting which I baked with love, but he didn't exactly eat them. He put them in his mouth, mouthed the crumbs, but didn't swallow much.

Travel Alert: John and I will be in California visiting my family for the next two weeks, so I probably will not be posting much to the blog. Please pray for my travels as I dread being stuck on a five-hour flight with an angry baby.
