Thanksgiving & Date night
This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday so Matt could enjoy the entire day of food and fun. Carla/Honey worked hard to make sure we had PLENTY of snacks and food to eat. The day was super relaxing. Matt and I got out in the afternoon to run a few errands. Honey and Pops were happy to stay behind and baby sit. It was nice to get out with my sweetie and have some quality time, even if it was to Target and Babies R Us!
Our Thanksgiving feast was delicious! Dean was a trooper and slept through the meal so we could enjoy a leisurely time of eating and talking. My favorite part of our feast was the oh so yummy sweet potatoes. I don’t even want to know what Carla put in them but they were great! Matt enjoyed the broccoli rice casserole, his holiday staple. Shortly after the meal I hit the hay – a few sips of wine did me in for a great few hours sleep before Dean ate his Thanksgiving feast.
On Saturday Matt and I had our first date night since Dean came along. We did a little Christmas shopping and then enjoyed an amazing sushi dinner at Lava Grill. I love sushi but was not able to eat it while pregnant, this date was a long time coming. The Lava Grill did not disappoint, we enjoyed every bite of our rolls and even managed to have conversations that did not focus on our little man. Thanks for babysitting Honey and Pops – we know it was a stretch for you!
Thanksgiving had a special place in our hearts this year with so much to be thankful for. It’s amazing how one little 9 pound baby can make such an impact on your life. We are looking forward to the Christmas holidays and can’t wait to share our experiences with you. Until then!

Wow, what a wonderful Thanksgiving. Honey, you out did yourself, but I know you enjoyed every moment. You really worked hard for some holding time.
Lindsey and Matthew, i know you truly enjoyed having Honey and Pops for a visit. Mr. Dean is a very lucky little man. Can’t wait for Christmas so I can have my holding time. Don’t make him grow to fast.
