Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house again this year. Julie's mom, dad, Aunt Mary, and Uncle Bob joined us as well as Phil's sister Amy and her fiance Brent.

We had Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, salad, and cooked carrots. For dessert we had an apple pie and a cherry pie.

We also sang Happy Birthday to Mom since her birthday was the week before.

On Black Friday, we took Amy and Brent to Bed Bath & Beyond to set up their wedding registry. We bought them their first gift from off their registry. The free gift wrapping may well have been more exciting than the gift itself.

Visiting the Krikory's & Moyer's

Julie's high school friends Cara and Missy both had little girls over the summer. We have gotten to see Missy and Brandon's little girl Addy a couple of times, but today was the first time we got to meet Cara and Fred's little girl Elise (Ellie) Renee Krikory.

Evan loved Ellie's quilt. He sat right down on it and asked to be snuggled in it.

We had a great time visiting with awesome friends and spending time with their little ones!
