We traveled to John's Aunt Ann and Uncle John's house in Logan for Thanksgiving dinner. We've been there the last few years and it is a wonderful tradition. Logan is so beautiful (freezing, bitter cold but beautiful) and it is so fun to be gathered with family and friends.
John and Ann have a great playroom in their basement and we could hardly tear Charlie away the whole time we were there. It's packed full of fun toys but he almost exclusively played with the marble run. He loved it and played with it for literally hours.
John liked the playroom a lot, too :)
Part of why Thanksgiving is so fun in Logan is that John's family has several incredible chefs- we're talking true gourmet ability here. My favorites this year were Cameron's ganache cake, macaroni and cheese, cream of mushroom soup, Sue's stuffing and prosciutto wrapped asparagus, Ann and John's homemade rolls and of course, their incredible turkey! 
John's cousin, Kim, made these adorable turkey cookies and they were a labor of love- she called them her sixth child.
Can you see the deer in the backyard?

You inspire me more than words can say. I don't know what you are going through, but just knowing I am not alone is so helpful. I admire your spunk and your sweet nature and feel so blessed to know you. Your little man is so adorable! I love how he is your mini-you! Let's get together again soon. Please?
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous pictures. Specifically the first and the last! And I read your gratitude post and I was terrified for you reading about Charlie putting the glass in his mouth. I am SOOO glad that he's ok. These kiddos are pretty crazy sometimes! You are such a great momma!
ReplyDeleteBarb, we were in the third row on the right facing the stage. There were 6 of us. Were you in the second row right in front of us? I thought the woman in the row in front of us looked familiar!
