We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in the Catskills this week! We drove up Wednesday night for a long weekend, and didn't have to go back till Sunday - it was great! We spent most of the time eating delicious food and playing with Aidan. 
This year Daddy's brothers and their families couldn't make it, so it was a smaller gathering. But it was still a wonderful weekend! Aidan loved playing hand-slapping games with Daddy's cousin Kevin, and getting chased around the house ("I'm gonna get you!!") by Kevin's wife Sarah, and was thrilled to death with Grandpa's sillyness - from squeaking good morning from under the bed covers in the morning, to letting Aidan take out all of the glass sauce containers in the kitchen, to watching Aidan sit and play in a dry bathtub just for fun! Aidan also loved patting the doggies and jumping on the bed ("10 little monkeys jumping on the bed.."). And everytime someone (frequently Alex, Tim, or Uncle Bob) started playing the piano, he dropped whatever he was doing to toddle over and climb up next to them on the bench and chime in with a couple notes of his own! 
The cutest thing Aidan has developed this week is kissing: he's starting to kiss a lot! On Tuesday, he kissed mommy's guitar goodnight (which we just started letting him play, and which he is head-over-heels in love with!). And early in the weekend, he walked over to Grandpa (without any instigation) just to give him a kiss! And by the end of the weekend, he was kissing Mommy and Daddy when we asked him to. He even kissed Ulrike! Mommy and Daddy love this new cuddly kissing stage!
