Thanksgiving weekend

Thanksgiving was a good time for the most part. We had a nice time visiting family.  It was only some sickness that dampened the trip.  Troy got sick on Friday, but recovered quickly by Saturday morning.  My dad was a bit sick too, Cal got the croup, and Teresa was fighting a cold.  For Christmas we need to be healthier!

We spent Thanksgiving day with my family.  We had a nice day and dinner.  The kids enjoyed their favorite toys (dalmatians for Teresa!) and time with cousins.  Jeff got the kids and Troy to join in snowy football game.

And we are certainly a family of readers.  Many times all the cousins could be found reading together.  Here they all read comics over dinner.

Next it was on to Susan's place on Friday for another dinner.  Timothy discovered the candy canes on the tree and Teresa loved the reindeer.  The kids had fun planning with Ari and Vanessa and kept busy.  It was good to visit with Judy, and Susie and other family.

And of course there was lots of reading going on here too.  Grandma Judy was Teresa's favorite story partner!

When we returned home, Timothy and Teresa decided to play Santa.  Teresa changed into a red shirt and borrowed my hat for her costume.  The laundry basket was the sleigh!
