Holiday Season

This weekend we kicked off the holiday season with a visit to Sarah and Dan's housewarming party. Above is Sabine with Caulder, her friend from Wintergreen last month. Debbie, Caulder's grandmother (shown above) told us that Missy and Joe are taking him to Hawaii in February when he is one year old.

Sabine looks jealous. Or maybe surprised that this little boy always wants to hold her hand.

After the Housewarming party, we went to Tonia and Al's for their friends Thanksgiving party. Above is Al preparing the turkey.

We get ready to sit down to dinner, excited to enjoy Beth's first course. Sabine decided to do the blessing. Her comments were a bit high pitched and somewhat loud. So much so, that we thought it best to have Sabine finish her blessing in the next room.

So the vacant chairs at the table were later enjoyed by Thomas and Cole, after Sabine had given her thanks as only an infant can. Effie, our friend standing in the above picture, filled our plates, and we ate. Quickly. As only parents of an infant can. :-)

We returned home, put Sabine in her pajamas, and told her all about the great food at Tonia and Al's annual "Friend's Thanksgiving." We really hope it continues to be an annual event, as we promised Shortie pureed vegetables and turkey mash next year.
