In the spirit of "better late than never..."
We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving! Lucy had a program at school - she was an Indian. Kay joined us for Lu's program and the Thanksgiving feast afterwards...complete with a turkey breast made by me (that had to be put in the oven at 4:30am...note to self: volunteer to preheat stuffing when it is Eli's turn for the feast!)
The Thanksgiving celebration continued in Texas where we got to see Amy and Avery for the first time since August - it was a joyous reunion! Avery took one look at Lucy in her cowgirl boots and had to try them on for herself...she had her own pair by the end of the trip! Mom and Dad fed and entertained us Texas-style...it was a fun week! We tried to capture one photo where all three kids look happy (because they were, we promise!), but that was impossible. A funnier picture might be our antics BEHIND the camera! Dad, Amy and I ran in a 5K race on Thanksgiving morning...it was great to stretch our legs before enjoying Mom's good cooking! The weather was mild so we spent a lot of time giving wagon-rides and being outside.
And, thankfully, the timing worked out great for me to meet my long-time friend Stacy's first child...Christian was born on October 28th. Stacy and I have known each other since first-grade and it was wonderful to see her dreams of becoming a mom come true!
