First Thanksgiving...Brookman Family

Ryan, you seem to be starting a trend. The past couple of times we've gone to Grandma and Pops' house you have a new way to greet them. Shortly before we arrive at their house you begin to grunt in the back seat. You make a dirty diaper and when we change your diaper at their house we discover that you have EXPLODED all over your clothes. We then have to soak your clothes in the sink, clean you up, wash your clothes...oy vey. It's a good thing we love you so much.

GOBBLE! GOBBLE!

Your Daddy and Uncle Philip started a tradition last year that the family go on a "Turkey Run/Walk" after Thanksgiving dinner. (Not right after..maybe the next day.) You went last year, but you were still in my belly. This time you got to see everything that was going on. It was very cold, so we all had to bundle up.

Grandma and Pops are always so nice and let Mommy and Daddy take naps when we're at their house so they can play with you. This is how I found you and Pops when I came downstairs from my nap. I think Pops would do just about anything to make you happy.

Uncle Philip showed us his trick with his dogs Kady and Oscar. He attaches their leashes to his belt and rides his bike while the run beside him. They really like running with Uncle Philip.

You met Great Grandma Joan and Dick for the first time. You impressed her with all of your smiles. You really liked hanging out with her.

Great Grandmother and Great Granddad came by too. Great Grandma Joan had to hand you off to Great Grandmother because you're so heavy! It was so fun to see all of them. We hope to see them again soon!
