Almost Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving! It's been a remarkable year, and as we use this holiday season to look back on the things we are most thankful for, we know we've been so blessed to count you as our friends and family. To new acquaintances and old, our sincere hope and prayer for you is a wonderful, unforgettable Thanksgiving!

Above is a note we sent out to all of our friends and family, wishing them well for Thanksgiving. That's Madison's Halloween costume - but it works pretty well for Thanksgiving, doesn't it?

Anyway, we're almost ready for Thanksgiving - still plenty to do, but it's late tonight. The tree is about 97% done, and Mommy's been working in the kitchen for much of the day: a lot of preparation goes into Thanksgiving. Maybe next year we'll just take a trip some place, eh?

MADISON'S BOOK CLUB

Here's another neat book we picked up a while back - but it's what we've been reading a few times this month, as it has everything to do with giving thanks. You could deduce that from the title though. Essentially, the book is a pretty big list of things to be thankful, illustrated one page at a time. It's a sweet book, and one that Madison enjoys hearing - along with the other Thanksgiving-related book that we have "Off to Plymouth Rock."

We'll have them out tomorrow for Nana and Ye-Ye to read to Madison. Everyone enjoys reading for Madison!
