Baby's First Holiday Season!!

I was SO excited for Boden's First Holiday Season! I was thrilled to be able to celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas with Boden. Holidays just aren't the same without little kids! 

It's been a crazy couple weeks..which explains why I have been slacking on posting on the blog! We flew to Florida the Saturday before Thanksgiving and planned on being there for the week. I have always been a "only bring a carry on bag" girl but holy shit a baby needs a lot of stuff!! We ended up checking two bags and still had to stuff our carry ons with excess baby junk! Our trip ended up being cut short when a few unfortunate events came up. We caught a flight back on Tuesday and were back in Chicago just in time for the single digit weather! Eeeeck!! I thought I had built my cold weather skin again but there is something about going from 80 degree humid Florida weather to 15 degree dry Chicago breeze! 

We ended up hosting Thanksgiving for 37 people! It was quite the party. We had enough sweet potatoes, rolls, stuffing, turkey, cranberries, green beans and gravy to feed a small army.

This was the best picture I could get of Boden. His new favorite activity is whipping his head back and forth like a out of control bobble head trying to take in a much of the scenery as possible. 

It was a successful Thanksgiving given the circumstances. For now...on to Christmas!!!
