Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all.


What a beautiful day it was here in St Louis...sunny & warm. We had dinner with Katie & Troy topped off with the yummy pies that Troy made. What a bonus! A great son-in-law & he bakes great pies! Ralph & I bought a Wii - can you believe it? - so we had a little friendly Wii competition after dinner. Too funny.

We missed Tommy, Mary & the boys. They spent the day with Mary's parents & playing outside in the park. I know how much easier it is to celebrate a holiday one time vs 2 or 3 places & meals especially when you have little ones. But we missed them nonetheless. I think it's the 1st Turkey Day we haven't seen Tommy.

We just returned from seeing the movie "Four Christmases" Hilarious. We really enjoyed it!

Now Ralph's getting his annual Thanksgiving Day fix - the Cowboy football game. I don't hear yelling so that might mean good things for the Cowboys!

Well, this will be the big Christmas decorating wk end for us...putting the tree up & decorating inside. I have to work 11 days straight beginning Dec 1 so it's this weekend or never. I start my new consulting job the wk of 12/15...in balmy Vermont. Thinking I had better get a down coat & some warm boots!

We rec'd our family pics in the mail yesterday so we have some new pictures to share.

And, finally. Happy Birthday Aunt Sandy!

Whew, we had a busy weekend. We attended a family wedding - Brooke & Jason were married on Saturday. They're a beautiful couple and it was great seeing everyone again. Danced the nite away, had some drinks & were exhausted on Sunday. It's funny. We used to be able to do that with no problem. :)

We had family pics on Sunday afternoon. Brrrr, it was cold out & we had pics taken outside! Last weekend it was almost 80 degrees and today it was in the '30s and windy.Only in St Louis. It was kind of a rocky photo session for the little guys but hopefully Kelly Manno was able to get some great pics. We will see the phots again in a few weeks. She has offered to do an additional photo session in the Spring so we'll have more pics to share.
