We celebrated Marshall's first Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Jefford in Dixion. It was a great holiday--and it was great to go to their house for a few days and get away! Its also so nice to have extra hands and help with both boys! While we were there we also got to see Aunt Reena, Uncle Brian and Jaron (Brayden's all time favorite!). He had fun playing flashlight with Jaron and Aunt Reena snuggled with little Marshall and was like the baby whisperer that night---he only cried for about an hour or so the night that they were there. This folks is a big deal---our little boy cries for up to 5 hours in a ROW sometimes---darn colic! However, we have made some adjustments to his eating...and we are seeing some improvements...however each day is different and you never know what the day/night will bring.
Marshall also turned one month while we were there. We had his doctor's appointment when we got back...he is toppling the scales at 11pounds 9 1/2 ounces and is 22 inches long....he is growing like a weed and filling out!!! We went to see Santa at White Pines (where we also got our tree). Brayden has been talking about Santa...and so we thought he may want to sit on his lap this year---nope---he talked to him from a far, but in order to get a picture we all needed to be by Santa.
While we were in Dixion, we also went and got our Christmas tree. We finally got around to decorating it...and we are starting to do some fun Christmas activities--which included Brayden setting up his nativity--pretty sure its one-of-a-kind---see the picture below! It also has been kind of nice here---weather wise---so we have been able to get out on some walks and such---which is great! It is always so nice to get out. I also celebrated my 30th--the boys were very good to me as were family and friends. This past weekend my sister came in town....so great to see the Bean! Aaron, Marshall (aka Santa-see the pic below) and I went to a Christmas party with our friends while Aunt Bean, Adam and Brayden had a special movie night. Here are some other pics...
