Thanksgiving

So much has been going on in the Schneider household since I last posted. Aaron and I spent Thanksgiving day at three different Aunties households. Appetizers at Aunt Kath's, dinner at Auntie Linda's, and a visit with Auntie Sandye after we were stuffed full. The main event for the weekend though was a visit from my brother's family... Jason, Amy, and Carson arrived Friday morning and stayed through Tuesday.

Immediately after picking them up from the airport we went to Fullerton for a 'Friday Feast' with my mom, Dave, and Aaron's parents. Saturday the boys went to the UCLA v. Oregon football game while my mom and I took Amy and Carson to their first visit at the La Brea Tar Pits. Sunday we 'hiked' on the Getty View Fire Road trail. It was an easy access hike so that Carson could join us in the stroller. He slept most of the way, if I remember correctly.

Monday we relaxed some more at home (I worked a half day in my PJs) and that evening Jason and Amy went out on date night while Aaron and I babysat little Carson. He's such a good kid - it was sooooooo easy! We played with blocks, read some books, and put him down for bed.

Tuesday we met Aaron near his office for lunch and then I rushed the Oregonians back to LAX. It was really nice to have them here - and we'll get to see everyone again at Christmas in just a few weeks!

Since Thanksgiving, it's been pretty much back to the usual for Aaron and I. Though this past weekend we had a little bit of a strange rec sports weekend. Thursday's kickball game was moved to 9:00, but no one told us so our whole team arrived at 8:00. Friday we were literally just out of our garage to go to volleyball when we got a call from a team member telling us that it had been cancelled. Again - no one told us! And then Sunday morning we were both up and out of the house early to get to Aaron's basketball game only to realize that it too had been cancelled. This time Aaron recalled (a little too late) that he had actually gotten an email about it. But weeks get busy and sometimes these details get lost. :)

(something is up with our memory card, so I'll have to post photos later)

We had such a great time with you in Santa Monica, and Carson can't wait for his Aunt Julie and Uncle Aaron to watch him overnight next week in Portland!
