This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house. The fam came down on Thanksgiving morning and stayed all night so we could hang out again on Friday (no we did not go shopping at 3am). We had a blast hanging out, playing cards and games...watching Alexander be the silly kid that he is, and of course eating. Alexander got some really fun gifts from Aunt Mary and Uncle Rick from Germany. He really loved the homemade popcicle makers they got him. Friday we all went out for breakfast at one of our favorite places then headed back to our house to hang out and play cards and games again. And, most importantly, draw names for our Christmas gift giving extravaganza. Every year on Thanksgiving we draw names and attempt to keep it a secret until Christmas. This of course involves a gag gift. This year, we opted to vote on the gag gift ideas. Ricardo's movie idea won. I'm anxious to see what everyone comes up with for that one. After everyone left Ricardo and I took Alexander and went to sleep for a much needed nap! :)

Saturday, Ricardo and I opted to hit the gym (definately needed that) and then we did head down to Circle Center to walk around for a bit. Alexander was having a blast walking around with his Abuela as usual. He looks pretty cool sporting his new shirt from Melissa and Gracie.
