HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Benjamin had his first plane flight to Michigan for Thanksgiving last weekend. He did a great job-eating and sleeping most of the flight. The passenger in front of us even commented after we landed that he "didn't know he was there" during the flight-he was awesome. We made it to Grandma and Grandpa Perry's in Kalamazoo and have been enjoying ourselves here ever since. Brian met us here Monday afternoon, and left Friday to go back to Tucson to work (we miss him a lot already).

We enjoyed the holiday with my parents, my sister and brother-in-law, my grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins who all came to visit. Ben has also gotten to meet several people from his Grandma's work, my old high school friends and is going to Grandpa's work this week to meet the people in his office. Ben can't wait for next year when he gets to enjoy turkey, pie and olives with the rest of the family.

The weather is definitely different here in Michigan than we had in Tucson. It hasn't been any warmer than 36 or so degrees (half the temperature when we left Tucson last Sunday). The snow is beautiful, but Ben isn't too big a fan of the cold weather clothes that come with the weather change.

We have been thankful for many things this holiday season, especially our family and friends. We hope you all had a great holiday and are looking forward to more holiday cheer in the upcoming months. One great thing about being home has been all the help from Grandma and Grandpa-Brian and I were able to go out to dinner and I have been able to get some holiday and other things done. Grandma did try to get fired from diaper changing duty...but we believe practice will make perfect!
