This weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving with Jim's family. Our annual tradition is that Jim's mother and I also make Christmas cookies, this year we made Buckeyes, Lebuken, Springles, and Sugar Cookies. Decorating is by far my favorite part. Jim's mom is a great baker and cook, I have learned a lot from our baking tradition.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday with all of the holiday fixings - Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Squash, Green Beans, Orange Sweet Rolls, Cranberries, Dressing, Gravy, etc Jim's sister Susan and her two boys Zach and Tristan were at Jim's mom's place as well - they are in one of the pictures with Emily. One of Emily's favorite things this weekend was to play hide and seek with the cat Holly, and Holly was very good at letting Emily snuggle and pet her.
On our way home we stopped to see Jim's grandmother for a few hours, she is also in some of the pictures. She always amazes me, she is in her mid 80's and walked 4.5 miles today, bowls in a league averaging 220 and was crawling under the kitchen table to play peek a boo with Emily. I don't know a lot of women her age with so much energy.
Sorry there are so many pictures, it was hard to choose.
