We spent Thursday at a friend's house - the same house we've been going to for the past several years - we just brought more people with us this time! My parents came along and everybody had a good time. We brought the mac & cheese and fruit salad, and the food (and company) were excellent.
Aurora had tons of little girls to play with, and Clark spent the day doing his favorite things: napping, petting a dog, playing with a remote control, and uhm... getting carried around by little girls.
This morning I put away the Thanksgiving decor and made our little Halloween pumpkins into delicious pumpkin bread before shifting gears to celebrate Chanukah (a few days late). We lit our Menorah, listened to Chanukah music, and opened presents from Grandma Nancy.
I feel this pressure to switch gears again and decorate for Christmas this weekend, but it's all happening too fast - the holidays are just too close together this year! I'm not ready to shop or send cards or put up a tree or any of that. I'm just going to wait and decorate for Christmas next weekend. I love the holidays and want to enjoy them all, but I can only have one table setting in place at a time!

It was great to spend Thanksgiving with you and such nice friends - including Lucy the dog!
Yes, the holidays seem to flow right into each other, LOL. Sounds like some good family memories. Holidays are really special for kids.
