The Huber Triplets: Thanksgiving round 1

First things first...

"Now, what do I write?"

Now for Thanksgiving...
We were very Thankful this year for the health of our family and our boys. We can still remember last year with all of the uncertainty and worry and we are so thrilled and thankful to have our boys here and healthy and growing up so fast! We had an eventful and wonderful Thanksgiving at Grandma Debbie's and Grandpa Tom's. We arrived on Wednesday and Grandma had dinner ready for us which was a treat! We unpacked all of our stuff, picture a baby explosion and that is an underestimation of the amount of baby things we brought with us. 3 walkers, 2 pack and plays, toys, clothes, diapers, and of course babies. We prepared various side dishes in the evening, spent the night Wednesday and Thursday morning Mike put the Turkey in. We had french toast, sausage and coffee for breakfast and then we spent the rest of the morning making other dishes and baby wrangling. The boys love their "Uncle" Magic, Grandpa and Grandma's doggy and Zachary laughs really hard every time the dog barks. Mikey, Zachary and Konrad followed him around in their walkers trying to get him all day long, poor Uncle Magic. The boys were everywhere - crawling and in their walkers, on the floor with toys and in everyone's arms...they were in triplet heaven, they had four people staring at them for days! In the afternoon, Great Uncle James arrived and then it was time to eat! After dinner, we packed up the boys and went to Great Aunt Bonnie's house. We saw Grandma Kelly and Grandpa John, Great Grandpa Huber, all of the Great Aunts and Uncles and cousins and little Isabella as well. It was exciting to see all of the babies playing together and at pretty much the same stages. Bella is cute as a button and thriving just like the boys! She and the boys were rolling and practicing their crawling and fighting over toys for everyone to see. Konrad had some crowd issues and some separation anxiety so he was not exactly on his best behavior, but he spent lots of time on Great Grandpa Huber's lap and the rest of the time clinging to mommy and daddy. Mike and Zachary did not have the same issues, they were everywhere....2 out of 3 isn't bad I guess. We pushed bed time to the limit and at 8pm we knew that it was time to go. All of the boys had red-rimmed blood shot eyes and they were getting cranky! So we packed them up once again and drove back to Grandma Debbie's. We spent the night once again and Friday morning mommy got to go see Angie and Aaron's new baby girl, she was beautiful and so tiny. Then I went to lunch all by myself (with my mom and sisters, Aunts, and cousins). It was delightful to be baby free for the day and to have some adult conversation. In the afternoon, I went back to Grandma Debbie's and Grandpa Tom's and then daddy got to go out to the dinner and bar with his friends. All in all a very equitable day, lol. Hopefully we didn't burn out Grandma and Grandpa who were very generous to let us stay for a few days...one night became two nights and then three nights...but it gave mommy and daddy a break and the the boys enjoyed the few days of extra attention and they adjusted well to their pack and plays instead of their cribs so it was pretty easy to just stay put. It was a very enjoyable holiday....and on Sunday we get to do it again with the Richardson family!
