Thanksgiving

It's been a week since Thanksgiving and I'm just getting to writting about it.  We did all our usual things--the meal, the beach, Black Friday, Harbordocks and Slick Micks.  The high point for me was walking by the kitchen and seeing Penny and Lucy standing side by side spinning (dancing) around at the same slow speed.  It was precious.  We had a great family holiday and this was the first Thanksgiving that Christian was officially part of the family.

Instaead of trying to remember and write everything I've put together a picture summary of the weekend.

So that was the holiday.  Watching everyone leave to go home was sad.  Walking back into the quiet house made me miss everyone.

I can't not include this video of Sophie and Tim dancing.  Sophie initiates the getting crazy by the way:
