Things in our life have been great! We had a wonderful first Thanksgiving as a family of three! We enjoyed our time together and our somewhat odd traditions. We got up, made a huge breakfast of all sorts of yummy stuff, and attempted to watch the parade. Mason didnt make it through much, but he liked the music and dancing. He then went and took a nap shortly after it started. It had been a long night and I ended up falling asleep as well and missed part of the parade. We both woke up in time to see Santa at the end. It is a fun thing and it the official kick off for the holiday season for me. Later that afternoon, we brought up all the Christmas stuff and started setting up the tree! It was so fun! It is our first holiday season with Mason home! It is fun to see him excited. he doesn't fully understand it all, but it's great when he looks at the tree and says 'pretty'. It's great. We decorated the house a bit and it's great. It's fun to decorate a house that you love! We figured that outside we would add a little more each year. I will post pictures later of the decorations.

Saturday night we had some great friends over! We walked down to the park and watched the lighting of the park. There was a large group singing and free hot cocoa. It was great! Then they all came over and we had dinner and just enjoyed the company! It's nice to have a house big enough to have friends over!

We are anxiously looking forward to next weekend! It is our final post placement with the social worker for Mason as well as our homestudy visit for the new adoption! We are so excited!
Here are a couple other fun pictures of our weekend!
