Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we got to go to Washington to visit Mike's family. I was kind of dreading the flights to and from with Mason, but he was an ANGEL. When I flew to Idaho in September, he wasn't terrible, but he definitely wasn't easy. This time, he did even better. I'd like to think that he remembered what it was like so he knew what to expect and wasn't as surprised/mad that he couldn't get down and run around. So, maybe he'll be a seasoned pro by the time Christmas rolls around.
All of Mike's siblings were able to come, which was awesome! Mason fit right in, and loved playing with his cousins. He was especially good at church playing and sharing toys with Cooper. Seeing how easy it was to keep him entertained with other kiddos close to his age kind of made me want another babe....but I'm not so sure I'm ready for sleepless nights and all that jazz just yet.
I was really bad at taking pics, so my photo documentation is lacking. But, I did get a few gems of him playing with Dutchess (Kris's dog). He would get right up in her face and try to talk to her. He wasn't afraid at all. It was kind of funny because some of the other kiddos wouldn't even go outside unless someone had a hold of her.
The first one is of Mike dancing with Dutchess, and the rest are a sequence of trying to get Mason to ride her.

The last one is a pic I snapped as we were leaving the house to have family pics.

All in all we had a great time, and are already missing family. Hopefully we won't have to wait a whole year to see everyone again.
