Colton met our dog, Bailey, for the first time. Neither of them really seemed excited about one another. Their only acknowledgement was Bailey bringing Colton this toy:

Thanksgiving

Colton's first Thanksgiving! 

We spent Thanksgiving Day with Brian's side of the family. Then we traveled to Indiana for the weekend.  Colton met a lot of his family, including his Great Great Grandparents. 

I also got to meet my baby cousin, Landon, who is only four days younger than Colton.

Cousins Nicole and Sofia (Well, they're my cousins. But "cousin" is easier than "first cousin once removed" and all that).
