Mason's First Thanksgiving

This year we have so much to be thankful for. In addition to amazing friends and family, we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving this year with Mason. We went to my mom & dad's house for dinner which was also Mason's first trip to Grandma & Grandpa's. He slept through most of dinner, but he got to test out the motorcycle that Grandpa bought him before heading home and enjoying some Thanksgiving bedtime stories with mommy & daddy.

Mason's First Halloween

Although he was only a week old, Mason celebrated his first halloween. He dressed up like a bat and even got his first trick-or-treat bag filled with goodies from Grandma.

Welcome Mason

I realize this is old news to some, but things have been a bit busy lately and I haven't had time to post. Regardless, we happily welcomed Mason Cole on October 24. I was scheduled to be induced on the 27th, but on the morning of the 24th I began having contractions. At 6:48 PM our little guy arrived weighing in at 8 lbs. 8oz. and 21.5 inches long. He's kept us busy, but we're beginning to settle in to a "new normal." He's a sweet baby and it's so fun seeing bits and pieces of his personality. We're so glad that he's finally here!
