Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We stayed close to home, which was so nice and relaxing. The weekends always fly by, so it is a treat to have time at home when the three of us can hang out. We went to my mom's on Thanksgiving and enjoyed a great dinner with family in her beautiful new house. Alec had a terrific time and was in great spirits all day. We are very thankful this year for our wonderful family and such an amazing little boy! We had some friends over on Friday to watch the CU game, and then stuck close to home. We bought our Christmas tree today, but will probably wait until tomorrow to decorate. And...it wouldn't be a true holiday if we didn't have some Alec news to report. His latest and greatest trick happend this weekend. He has now figured out how to propel himself up onto the coffee table in the family room and then stand on top it. He mastered how to pull himself up onto it on Friday and then on Saturday he got gutsy and went for the stand. While this is obvioulsy hilarious to watch, it's not such a good thing for out little man to be doing. Unfortunately, our attempts at telling him "no" are failing miserably. He just realizes that he is getting more attention, and so he continues the behavior. The only thing that really seems to work is ignoring him, which is what we are attemting to do with the table climb right now, although it is so hard not to laugh when you see him smiling so proudly on top of the table. We will see how it works out, hopefully there aren't any major crashes.

As you can see, his first attempts were not at all encouraged by his Aunt.
