Christmas decorating

 Grandma and Grandpa stayed for a couple days after the Liptaks left.  Here, Grandpa and Caden are inspecting Grandpa's smashed phone.  The boys helped find the pieces up along our road where it had fallen off the roof of his car. :(

 It was nice to have them present for our decorating!

 

Thanksgiving: the meal

It was so great to have family here!!  My Dad and Seth....and Shann

Gwen is mid-asparagas helping!

Lynne brought placecards with famous Thanksgivingish quotes we took turns reading.

Thanksgiving: 3rd attempt

For some reason, my Thanksgiving pictures have not wanted to load!  Here are a few from Duke Gardens and the scavenger hunt! 

 We divided into 3 teams, each with 7 things to find.  Here are a few pictures of the Caleb, Grandma, Madelyn, Alyssa group.  Obviously, Caleb was the photographer.  All sitting on a branch:

 All laying on a bridge:

Oh, and us...Lynne took our Christmas picture!
