Thanksgiving

I was busy cooking and cleaning on Thanksgiving, so only took a few pictures, but it was lovely. My family was here for 8 days over Thanksgiving--both parents and Mad! It's the longest we've ever had their undivided attention! It was so fun to have them here, and to have their help and company.

Here Mac and Brad are hanging out in the early afternoon, after a too short nap on Mac's part. She wasn't feeling well then, and she still isn't feeling her best.


Leiden came down with her first cold sore (yay, herpes simplex!) the day after Thanksgiving, so she was also not feeling her best. She NEVER voluntarily lays down and takes a nap! Bapa was obliged to join her.



Mac is funny, these days. As soon as you say anything about dinner, she rushes to her seat, climbs in, straps herself to it, and sits and waits. Here she is, and you can read her face: "Where is the food?"



My husband is a wonderful man, so thoughtful in so many ways, and he thought to get out the tripod and take a picture of all of us. A photography studio we are not, but it recorded the moment! (It also recorded how enormous I am getting!)
Happy Thanksgiving!
