Happy Thanksgiving!

We started our Thanksgiving celebration by going to Mass. That evening we went to Grandma Rose's house to spend time with family and have a delicious meal.

Turkey fun

Stephen and I made turkeys today. If you use your imagination a bit, you might be able to see the turkey in his creation. The perfectionist in me stepped back to let him create. The blue scribbles are the turkey's eyes.

A belated Thanksgiving

Stephen and I ventured to Nebraska this past weekend for a late Thanksgiving celebration with my family. We flew for the second time together. We left on Thursday, and it was snowing in Denver. We got to our gate around 8:00 am for our 10:04 flight. The aircraft we were supposed to get on was late coming in. Once it got there, there was a maintenance issue. We finally boarded around 11:15. Then we sat on the tarmac for about 2 hours as we waited in line to get deiced, got deiced, and then waited for our turn to take off. We finally landed around 3:30, only 3 hours late! Considering the circumstances, Stephen did a great job. He was definitely excited to get to Aunt Megan's house where he could be "free."

On Friday, Stephen and I went to Clare's school to eat lunch with her. I also got to see some of my former coworkers. That evening we all went to Grandma and Grandpa G.'s house where we spent the rest of the weekend. It was the last time for all of us to gather in my parents' current house in our hometown. They'll be moving to the "big city" in a few weeks. Our Thanksgiving meal was wonderful! (Thanks, Mom!) Stephen loved getting to play with his cousins, aunts, uncle, and grandparents. The flight home on Sunday was much less eventful. It left on time, and Stephen slept the entire way. We had a great time. I'm glad we were able to go.

Happy Thanksgiving!

On Thanksgiving we went to Grandma Rose's house. Stephen enjoyed eating turkey, broccoli, roll, and mashed potatoes. He also had his first tastes of pumpkin and apple pie! He had fun playing with his cousins Audrey and Morgan as well.
