Thanksgiving, 2011, big day for a little guy...

I had hoped to make a bigger post out of this, but time has gotten away from me and it is already 2012.

This past Thanksgiving Ethan past a big mile stone and had his first sleep over without his mama and papa.  We drove to nana's house in Center Barnstead for some of her famously good turkey and then Jody and I left and Ethan spent the night with nana and pappy.  

Jody and considered it a date and we went to see the 4th Twilight movie and had a great time.  We also had a WONDERFUL breakfast the next day and Lou's and then I drove out to pick Ethan up in Concord nana (in her new blue Honda CRV).

Everyone had a great time and I was happy that Ethan got to a more intimate part of the canvas of his nana's daily life.  I grew up 100 ft from my grandmother's house and I saw her almost everyday.  Being far from family is something tugs deeply on my heart and to see nana be such a big part of Ethan's life brings me great joy.
