Sorry for my absence from the blogging world the last few days; life got so busy with entertaining and recovering from entertaining that I didn’t get my usual downtime at the end of the day to post. But I am happy to say that even though I don’t have much photo documentation to show you, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was such a blessing to be surrounded by many of our friends and family who came from near and far to make it an amazing day. Here are the girls spending quality time after dinner with our friend Jon and his dad Ted:
As you can tell, Ted enjoyed his turkey-induced coma…
…and Jon was amused by Becky’s attempts to decipher a book about square-dancing farm animals, and Susie multi-tasked while feeding her new doll to make sure Becky was getting the words right. It was great fun all around!
We then had some dear friends from Pennsylvania visit on Friday night, and then my aunt and uncle from California visited us today. The girls are going to be bored silly next week when the only person they have to play with is me!
We were so excited my aunt and uncle were able to take time out of their busy trip visiting their daughter in Massachusetts to come down and spend time with us today. My Uncle Bruce hadn’t seen the girls in person since they were about five months old, and the girls did their part to demonstrate how far they’ve come with their mile-a-minute vocabulary, somersaulting skills, and full-fledged two-year-old-ness.
If you’re reading this, Uncle Bruce and Maureen, the girls are still talking about your visit – you made a wonderful impression on them. Thanks again for driving down to see us!
