Thanksgiving Day was a wonderful day. We got to sleep in while Gammy got up with the kids. That was certainly getting the day off to a great start. Then we all helped to get the meal prepared. Ruthie was really into helping out this year. We also decided that since it was freezing outside and not much for the kids to do that we would bring out all the Christmas decorations. The girls were so adorable while decorating the tree. As you can see, there is a 2 foot square where all the decorations were placed. We had our delicious meal and then Ruthie Gammy and Molly took a moonlight walk to walk off some of the turkey. Everyone had to get to bed at a reasonable time so that Simon and I could get up for a shopping trip at 5am this morning.

We have so many things to be thankful for this year.
Our health, our loving family, our wonderful friends, and a brand new dishwasher that was an early Christams present and made it just in time for our Thanksgiving dishes.

More to come on our shopping trip today and tomorrow we hang the outside lights. And again, by we I mean, Simon and my mom while I hang out with the kids inside in the warmth.

what a fun thanksgiving! i cannot believe that you got up at 5 AM to go shopping. actually i can since this is the first year that i did not get up that early to go to the King of Prussia mall. instead we went to costco at 10 AM... which was totally empty!
i love that you call Lucy, lulu. i had dinner with taylor goldberg yesterday. she says hi. she is a sophmore in college and wants to be a vet!
Please send my love to Taylor.
Yes, we call her Lulu and it was never planned. When Ruthie was little she couldn't say Lucy. She started calling her Lulu. She also couldn't say Ruthie and she called herself "Huffy". So, when we tried to change Lulu to Lucy she started calling her "Hussy". soooo obviously 2 daughters "Huffy" and "Hussy" we thought Lulu sounded much better. And now she is no not a Lucy and more a Lulu.
Costco sounds like so much fun. I am shopped out. I shopped all day today.
the girls did an excellent job decorating the tree! they are so adorable!
i'm so glad your mama got to come and stay with you for so long. grandmas are the best!
