Five Pounds Heavier

I have returned home from all our Thanksgiving feasts with a little more junk in my trunk than before all the dressing and cranberry sauce and peanut butter fudge. Brad and I had a wonderful and very relaxing break with both our families, and I feel very thankful for the time we had together. It's back to work for me, and hopefully this weekend I can ring in the Christmas season by putting out some decorations. I'll leave you with some pictures of our holiday weekend.

My Family
Betsy (Robert and Alicia's daughter)
Dressed up from the kid's Thanksgiving play

Me and Aunt Ellen (my mom's sister)

Nathan, Amie, and my mom

Me and my grandmother
She prepared an amazing Thanksgiving feast!

Brad, his uncles, and cousins at the annual football game

Brad and Tyler (his brother)
They opened a present early and spent the weekend
playing a flight simulator game.

My first attempt at holiday baking

If I wear a little pilgrim outfit, can I come play football and flight simulate next year?
