Thanksgiving
It has been a very cold week, with lots of light (and not so light) snow.
A picture of the living room sans curtains, a but with our new couch!
Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in the morning!
Gluten free cookies made by Abby and Hope. They tasted just like the "real thing"!
Ready to eat!
With our "holiday family", the ones we have celebrated Thanksgiving with for over 18 years.
The kids are all grown up. We are missing the oldest "kid" this year, as he is in medical school back east.

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving
We painted the dining room and living room last Sunday. Not a drastic change, from tan to off white, but it feels fresher. We also are moving things around, putting the living room curtains into the dining room and hopefully sewing new curtains for the living room.
It looks like it will just be twelve of us for Thanksgiving this year. That means we'll be able to fit everyone around one table.
Abby pressed leaves from our Maple out back to decorate with earlier this fall. Now we just need to purchase napkins and candles and wash all the dishes and serving pieces. And cook all the food.
Jacob's 18th Birthday
Jacob has loved the "Inside Out" movie, so we made that the theme for his birthday celebration.
He received the main character plush figures, among other things.
Below, expressing the emotions of the characters...
And the cake, made and decorated by Abby.
When Hannah came by a few days later, we gave her the birthday gifts for her 23rd birthday, which included this Rudolph onsie. Because nothing says "Merry Christmas" like walking around in a deer suit.

Abby's Handiwork
This summer Hannah had to dress up 50's style for work. Abby made up a 50's 'do for her.
Abby also had to dress 50's for an event at her work due to the launch of a doll from the 50's (American Girl).
And here we have Hope, who was just minding her own business on the couch when Abby came along and fixed her up.
