Full

Thanksgiving was so fun and full.  This was our second year hosting Thanksgiving dinner and it felt great having both sides of the family come together again to share a meal.  I'm always grateful for my extended family, but I couldn't help feeling extra grateful as we all sat around the table together for a tasty homemade meal, interesting conversation and good laughs.  We all left full, and in more ways than one.

We also celebrated Nathan's and T.J.'s birthdays, which are this weekend and just three days apart.  I think their birthdays make the holiday even more special for our family...Even though Nathan was scared by our singing Happy Birthday and cried and burrowed his face in my neck.

My knitted Big Bithday Owl wasn't as big a hit as I'd hoped -- maybe one day it will be -- and I kinda knew this would the case.

But Daddy's gift of a real toy guitar was a big hit.

I hope your holiday was just as fun, thankful and full.
