Thanks

So very thankful, for...

- lots of parties and oodles of good eats

- a baby that doesn't mind being passed around to scores of doting friends and relatives all weekend long

- dinner and dessert with some new family

- advent decorating and my faithful helpers

- Levi's curiosity

- rollicking arguments discussions with Bri

- Dad's joke attempts

- Kimmie's visit

- the fact that Nana makes her delicious "figgy" pudding, even though only she and I eat it

- affirming parent-teacher conferences

- cousin Jeff's new job

- Jonny's enthusiastic love for his nephew

- talking to relatives in Papua New Guinea via skype on Thanksgiving

- a Sunday afternoon birthday party, the birthday girls, the crock pot chili, homemade bread and yummy dessert. 
- this cheeky little pose, this soft baby skin...
