I just love Thanksgiving, don't you?

Calvin had fun playing with a 10 year old boy and the teenagers at the pool and ping pong tables. He tried nintendo DS and ate banana cream pie....he found a quiet spot and went to bed around 5:30!

Clare loves pink!

Alexey made a new best friend in Jessica's brother, Jeff. Bless his heart, he played with the kids for hours!

This is Jessica -- she is going to bring us a new cousin in Feb. She is darling always and even more so as a pregnant person.

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving day. We went to my brother Pete's in-laws, the Liebers. It is so kind of them to include us as part of the family now! The food was wonderful, the TV was playing football and the kids had a great day. Dave's day was not quite as great...he had to go in for a case around 1:30 and missed dinner. He did get home in time for the TX game and a plate of leftovers!

This morning I went in to Black Friday at Target. It was MADNESS! But also kind of fun. I was there at 5 as the doors opened and got to see the line wrapping all around the shopping center! I picked up a few toys and games -- nothing too fancy -- and I was home by 6. Today we are doing family pics. It is a good day :)
