Thanksgiving Weekend

We hope your holiday weekend was restful. Brian took the entire week off of work so we had some extended family time. (I think all three of us are ready to get back to normal on Monday!)

We spent the pre-Thanksgiving Sunday afternoon with Grandma, Grandpa, Tante, Aunt Donna, Uncle Phil and cousin Joy. Monday night we went to see Tony and Tante's house for the first time. They treated us to a great evening and a delicious meal in their beautiful home.

On Thanksgiving Day, we went up to Columbus for a great day with Granddad, Supernana, Uncle Matt and dogs Isabelle and Buddy, Bob and Carol's new greyhound. We also visited with Jeff, Katie and their new baby, Sydney, who is 2 months old and adorable!

We avoided stores and shopping on Friday, but did manage to put up our (sad little pre-lit artificial) Christmas tree after G went to bed. Saturday morning, she came downstairs and saw the tree for the first time. Her eyes widened and she said, "Oh, it's bootiful!" She loves the ornaments - I think most of them are no longer on the tree! Everything is "Christmas" to her - Santa, the tree, lights, etc.
