Thanksgiving at Linda's

Steve and I had planned to host Thanksgiving at our house so that we wouldn't have to go anywhere with our very new baby. The reality of that sunk in pretty quickly after we got home from the hospital and we changed back to the original plan of going to Linda and Paul's house instead. Chris and Ingrid were there along with all of the Schuler's (minus Heather who was studying in Australia!), and we had a great time! I was set on leaving by 8:30 and we were there past 10. It was so much fun to catch up and have Jacob meet everyone and Ethan play with everyone.

Josh was one of the first to hold the little man!



Ethan and Linda played a few delightful tunes for us.




Of course we had to bring toys with us and the Schuler kids were happy to play with our big guy. He was in heaven!




Christopher and Jacob.



Ethan enjoying (no really, he was enjoying it) a scotcheroo (a special treat by Linda enjoyed by all of us cousins at holiday time for years).

Great Auntie Linda with her latest honorary grandchild!!

Uncle Shawn was not about to sit out on the play action with Ethan. Jamie and I have such fond memories of playing with, and on Shawn, throughout our lives and it was fun to see him at it again with our "little" guy.
