Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving came and went way too fast.

"Grandmamma and Granddaddy" (Wyatt's parents) came up for the first time to visit. We had a ball. Julia loves to jump on Granddaddy anytime his eyes close and he looks like he might be going to sleep. No naps while Julia is awake. She also kept Grandmamma VERY busy playing in the basement singing songs and outside on the swing set. I don't know who wore who out more....Julia is still asking for them when she wakes up.We went to the Columbus Zoo (really nice) and did the Zoo Lights display. Julia decorated and ate a Christmas cookie with Mrs. Clause. They also had a HUGE miniature train display set up that was really cool. I cooked a full on Thanksgiving feast for the first time and there were no major disasters so it went off pretty well.

We also went on Friday to cut our own Christmas tree at a local tree farm not far from our house. They had live animals (a donkey and a sheep) that Julia got to see. They provided us with a sled and a saw and sent us on our way to search for the perfect tree. It was alot of fun. We had a great week. It is always good to be reminded how much we have to be thankful for.
