Thanksgiving!

With Thanksgiving fast approaching (as in this week) I thought it was appropriate to write about how Thanksgiving is different now with a baby.

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Something about family getting together, lots of yummy food and basically enjoying everyones company is just great. Last year was our first Thanksgiving with Jase and it was definitely much different then past ones. Last year we were dealing with naps for Jase, when did he need to eat, who was keeping him happy, ect. Years prior my main worry was making sure I tried all the appetizers and had my fair share of wine. Overall, I'd say last year was a success. Jase was cranky when dinner time came but he ate a bit, let me eat a bit and then napped before we went home.

This year I am all sorts of excited! We are hosting this year (our first time hosting with a child) and I think Jase being older and eating all "big boy" food now it should make it really fun! He is down to one afternoon nap and if his schedule isn't too messed up with having family here he should be waking just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. This year I'm looking forward to Jase trying lots of new food and maybe enjoying a glass of wine as well.

What are your favorite things about Thanksgiving with a child? Does anyone have fun traditions or super yummy food dishes they always make?

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
