Eat. Drink. Eat. Play. Drink. Eat. Thanks.

Thanksgiving. It is awesome. All I did for the past 5 days is eat and play. Actually, I guess being anywhere between 0 days old and a Kindergartner is like Thanksgiving. That aside, this has been a good week. I got to catch up with old friends, meet new friends, eat lots of new foods, and most importantly, I have perfected the act of waving hello and goodbye. Other exciting milestones I have achieved including using chopsticks, doing arithmetic, and reciting poetry.

Mommie and Baba took me to Connecticut to the Grandparents' Weinstein for Thanksgiving and then took me to the Grandparents' Black for the weekend. I saw Aunt Rosellen (Grandpa Mark's Sister) and her kids Carrie and Michael (my cousins!) for the first time. I also got to reconnect with Greatgrandpa Poppy, Uncle Don, Aunt Jill, Cousin Arielle, Uncle Josh, Aunt Hillary, and more! It was so exciting. I also got to see my friend Nathan and his parents MaryPat and Grant, who are mommies friends from school.

In Syracuse I got to see 3 more great granparents (Black x 2 and Bolton x 1), Grandma and Grandpa Blacks friends the Rapasadis and the Menkins, Aunt Gina and Uncle Bob, Aunt Debbie, Cousins Daniel and Jordan and his girlfriend Liz, Baba's friend Jason Drimer and his parents, and dad's friend Dara who he knows from high school. I also saw Eric (dad's friend from high school) and Sam, his FIANCE! They got engaged and got a new puppy at the same time! I was bigger than their puppy Maddie so that was cool. OK, enough of me talking about how popular I am. Check out some photos.

Ahhhhh!
