Happy Thanksgiving

In spite of being away from home and missing you all dearly we had a top notch Thanksgiving this year. Nani and Gagi (Ana's new terms for my parents) came into town and Shelby, Craig and Even (new friends) celebrated with us. Ana really enjoyed the day. She helped cook up the stuffing, mixing away, and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather playing out back in the "leaf pile", as well as showing off her "suzy spider shoes" (what she will forever refer to her black shoes as). She ran around the house tapping and pointing her toes, more excited than ever! And then, during meal time, she gobbled up the turkey and stuffing like nobody's business. Then it was party time as Evan and Ana played until the wee hours of the morning (well...only 9:30 PM, but for those of you who know Ana, you know this is REALLY LATE- she is a strict 7/7:30 crasher. )
Taylor did great too. She got sweet potatoes for the first time and inhaled them, grabbing the spoon and shoveling more and more into her mouth. She slept a lot of the day, so sorry Tay Tay but we only got a jammy shot. She was OH SO CUTE in her coordinating sisters dress.
This year we do have a lot to be thankful for, but most of all for our precious girls. Also for family and friends who travel far and wide- by car, phone and e-mail- to stay close to us, even while away. Thank you and we love you all.
