Thanksgiving in Maryland

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmothers house we go

The wind knows the way to carry the sleigh....

We spent Thanksgiving in Maryland this year with the Schaefers and McGarrys.  The girls were both able to spend time with their godfathers which was nice. It was a lovely dinner with great company.  We were thankful to be there.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

The following day we visited my family.  I have missed Gram so much that it was emotional when we hugged each other. Though I can not hear her voice anymore, my love has never changed.  We are all thankful to be with Gram.  I really enjoyed chatting my Mom, Gordon and Pap.  Time ticks away fast when we are together.

That evening we arrived home sweet home and discovered our Elf Lacey had brought his little sister along.  They were enjoying a few mother goose books while we were gone.  The girls were excited that Lacey's sister had learned how to fly and was coming to stay with us this year.  After much discussion, the girls selected the name Dorothy (as in Dorothy Gale from Kansas).  To make the elves feel at home we decorated our house for Christmas.  It was so much fun to decorate this year and much easier than the past few years.  Isabella and Sophia were a big help decorating the tree.  We enjoyed a Christmas carols, a Christmas movie marathon, hot coco, and a warm fire while we trimmed our tree.  It was one of my favorite days of this year!!!!!
