Getting ready for Christmas

We are slowly getting ready for Christmas. We finished

decorating the tree, went to see Santa, decorated a

ginger bread house and even mailed out our cards without

too many family fights and crying outbursts..Although

without drama it wouldn't be a Meno Christmas!

Paiges 5 K

Paige ran a 5 k this morning as part of the nationwide

"Girls on the Run program". Noah, Aiden and I cheered her on in the 22 degree

weather as Mike ran with her holding her hand the whole way. She completed

the race in under 37 minutes!

Aiden turns two moths old!

Aiden is now the grand old age of two months

old. His big achievement is that he is laughing

although the laughs are few and far between

and mostly in his sleep. Hopefully by his third

month I will be saying his achievement is

sleeping through the night. A goal he is VERY

far away from!

Thanksgiving

We were very fortunate this Thanksgiving to be able to spend

it with so many friends and family. Mikes old CO and family

was in from Mississippi and three other NMCB 133 families were able

to join us. Mikes parents and sister and her husband also came in

making it a full house. Aiden made making the meal a lot more difficult

than previous years. Thank goodness I had a lot of help..The day would

have run smoothly if our garbage disposal, dishwasher and doorbell had

all decided not to break on the same day but I guess it wouldn't be a real

holiday without chaos in the Meno house!
