Ricky and I took Grant to his first Navy football game in the middle of the month. We defeated Texas State (yeah, we haven't ever heard of them either) in a bitter cold game. We attended the 73' tailgate with the Landers and the Campbells which as always, never disappoints. They had such a variety of food and drinks that I don't think they would have eaten it all, even if the football team would have stopped by. The night ended with dinner with Ricky's former CO, LtCol Scott "Kelpto" Cooper and Maj Chuck "Dude" Dudik, in downtown Annapolis, our fav. dinner spot.
The month ended with spending a day talking about all of things we are thankful for. Cathy came to visit and spend Thanksgiving with the Dolan side of the family and it was perfect. We had 17 for dinner! Grant started eating solids when he reached 6 months on the 20th and his first foods were pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and applesauce-very fitting for Thanksgiving. I'd say he enjoyed his first Thanksgiving. Just being with family, sitting around a table chatting, is one of my favorite things to do, and having a majority of my family together was wonderful.
