Giving Thanks

We are very thankful for good family.  We drove to Chicago for Thanksgiving, so we could take along with us the newest member of our family -- Blitz.  He made fast friends with his furry cousins, Pumpkin and Peanut.  Thank you Aunt Anita and Uncle Jim for hosting us and Norm and Tracey.  We all had a lovely time.
Pumpkin -- due to the unfortunate affections of Blitz, Ariel and I renamed her "Humpkin."

L&L at the Kohl Children's Museum.  In one place, they were encouraged to paint their faces in a self-expressive way.

All of the dogs love Aunt Anita.
But Blitz loves Ariel the best.



J&A's indoor pool was L&L's favourite thing to do.  The grown-ups' favourite thing to do was eat.  With both Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrated over the course of a few days, there came a point when Ariel and I were sickened by the thought of food.  We had a great time!

I am thankful for the wonderful traditions that we have as a family. It was nice to reconnect with everyone again. I think I gained 5 pounds with all of the food I ate. It was three straight days of gastronomical delights of Epicurean proportions.

My mother was able to capture a picture of Blitz eating some wrapping from an early Christmas present that was priceless to see. Nice that everyone could get into the Christmas spirit!

I laughed out loud at Livi's face---she had a great expression which matched the ambiance of her painting. Looks like such a FUN time!
