Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving holiday. It started off with me getting sick, but we were still able to enjoy our time off work and with family. We spent Thanksgiving day at home cleaning up the house, rearranging things, and putting up the Christmas tree. We took the big bookcase from the living room and put in Whitney and Blaine's room. They have SO MANY books (a good thing!) that we were running out of room for them all. We were also able to put some of here knick knacks on it and get them out of the way of other things. The smaller bookcase that was in her room, we moved into the living room and put the small scrapbooks and some of her smaller toys on. It was another good solution to an ongoing storage problem!

Here are a couple of pictures of us decorating the Christmas tree.

On Friday evening we headed to Sandy and Charlie's house to spend the weekend. Joe's High School reunion was Saturday night. It wasn't an even number like 5, 10, or 20....it was 17 1/2 years! They had not had one before...so why not start now! It was a good time and I even had fun talking with the wives of Joe's HS friends :)

Sunday marked our Thanksgiving feast day! Joe's brother Jeff and his family came over and we enjoyed a feast of turkey, filling, my sweet potato casserole, creamed corn, mashed potatoes...we even had WAFFLES! The kids had fun playing together and we even got some formal family shots. Joe brought his camera equipment and he did a fantastic job getting some good pictures of the family.

We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving as much as we did. Sooner than later it will be Christmas!!! Take care
