Happy Thanksgiving!

We had an extra-awesome Thanksgiving over here due to getting TWO unexpected snow days that week! Oddly enough, we hardly had any snow, which was kind of the problem - it would rain all day, but due to the old snow it couldn't drain off the streets, so every night it would freeze into ice on the roads. So even though it was not cold and not snowy, we got two extra days off from school that week, which was awesome. So in sharp contrast to every other year we've had, where James would not get ANY days off the week of Thanksgiving, and had to work from open to close on Thanksgiving itself, we had six awesome days just to hang out together as a family.

On Thanksgiving itself, the weather "got better," the roads cleared off, and it started snowing again, making it possible to drive again. We had dinner with the Kenley clan and dessert with the Cartwright clan. It was a really relaxing day, and nice to only have to drive a few minutes home afterwards.

Claire got fussy after dessert but finally settled down with my grandma and stayed snuggled like that for like 45 minutes. Not fair! We can't get her to snuggle for 45 seconds!

Fun with my cousin Kelsey.

After being completely clear of snow from our melt-down earlier in the week, it snowed like 10 inches on Thanksgiving Day. Here's a shot the next day of the stack-up on our balcony.
