We are preparing for the annual family invasion. My parents and my sister, Elin, and her family will be arriving this week to celebrate Thanksgiving and "Thanks-mas". We have had the "Thanks-mas" tradition since my sister was married. We have a traditional Thanksgiving, then on Friday we transform my house into a Christmas haven-- tree and all, and do some major power shopping so we can have "Christmas" on Saturday. It's fun, but stressful at times. This year, I'm prepared. I have all of our shopping done, and I've already done the wrapping too. I might even have some Christmas decor up before everyone arrives.
We are also expanding our guest list for Thanksgiving dinner. Now that Aaron's family is in town. They will be joining us for the feast. We bought a 20+lb turkey this year. Should be a good time. Especially with Max and Eli running around. Keenan I know will enjoy just watching all the commotion.
Eli is pretty cute. He loves Winnie the Pooh books. He memorizes the books and can recite the lines. His favorite thing to do before betime is "bounce" like Tigger. He bounces on Aaron, and says. "Hoo hoo hoo!" and Aaron says. "Eli, will you ever stop bouncing?" and Eli says, "Bouncing is what Tigger does best! TTFN-- tah tah for now!" So funny.
Keenan is really moving around and now he is pulling himself up! He can pull himself up in his crib and he has figured out how to stick his butt out and let himself gently down. Aaron took him to the doctor because his eyes had been kind of goopy, but getting better. Turns out he has an ear infection, so he's on antibiotics. His eczema has been xoming and going too. So we changed his lotion to Eucerin from Aveeno. Hope that helps!
I'll post a "Tigger" video soon. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Have a great Thanksmas Cherie. Tell everyone hi for me too. I can't wait to see the video. It sounds cute.
Gus has eczema, too. We had to get him a Rx lotion last year b/c nothing else worked, but I will say that both Eucerin and Auquafor work better than most lotions you can get at the store. Good idea. If you ever need an Rx for his eczema, may I recommend Elidil. It worked wonders with Gus.
Happy Thanksgiving, girl! Have a great Thanks-mas.

Dang, that's a lot to happen in a few days, but it sounds awesome to be around so much family. Glad you have the gifts done beforehand, though. Hope it was great!
Hey, has Vinnie had her baby?
