We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving week with family last week. Mom and Dad arrived on Monday night after their month-long trip to France and Jordan. Mom came with me to my 37 week doctor's appointment (no big news to report) on Tuesday. We spent that afternoon cooking things to put in the freezer for when baby Lauren arrives. On Wednesday, we hosted Dad's cousin Ken for lunch at our home and then that evening Jim and Lavonne came over for dinner. The following day, Mom and Dad flew home and we enjoyed Thanksgiving Day with Jim and Lavonne. Dan was in charge of the turkey, Lavonne made the pies (blackberry and pumpkin, yum!) and I took care of the side dishes (squash souffle, broccoli rice casserole, hot rolls and endive/pear salad). I used our fine china for the first time since I got it more than 10 years ago! I think the table was very pretty. I unfortunately forgot to take a photo, but I think Lavonne took a few so hopefully I'll manage to track one down.
On Friday, Mike, Stacy, Olivia and Graham arrived and we moved into birthday celebration mode! Dan's birthday was Saturday and Mike's birthday was Sunday. We enjoyed a birthday dinner at Nomi on Saturday night and a birthday brunch at The Signature Room on Sunday.
It was a lovely weekend!
