A weekend of Thanksgiving

This year, the whole family came for Thanksgiving **smile**. Sue was under the weather [to put it mildly], so Tuesday morning we decided that we would host the meal. Friday some of us went ice skating before we invaded Laura and Brian's for dinner [which was Mexican night, yum]. Today, Jim joined us for breakfast. Then, it was time for the 'out of towners' to begin their journey home. It went by so fast, we were sad to say goodbye. Here are some pics from the weekend. 'Til next time ... we'll miss you all.

ps. Sue, hope you're on the mend. We all missed you very much.

Misc photos from the weekend

Friday night Jackson went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood w/ a group of friends.


A ghoulish welcome.

One VERY happy tick-or-treater ... mission accomplished !


Then, on Saturday we went to New Hampshire for a fall get-together. I made a comment on Sunday about the fact that I was being a slacker in the photo department ... and my pictures [or lack thereof] are the pathetic proof that I wasn't lying. Wow ... But, as Claude mentioned, its because I was enjoying myself. He's right.

The weather was perfect all weekend long. We ate and ate and ate some more. I think I gained 10 pounds [5 for me and 5 for the baby]. The baby was happy !! We also did one of my favorite things, which is hide-and-seek on the buggies, 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. The guys found time for a little football [there were a few minor injuries to report, nothing major]. The ladies chased the toddlers around and enjoyed our time catching up. They also surprised me with some baby gifts, which was totally unexpected [thank you again]. The kids played hard for two days straight and Jackson crashed as soon as we got in the car to head home. Thanks for another great weekend. I know it was a lot of work, but it was sooo much fun.

Here are some pics from the game of hide-and-seek:
