Give Thanks

The six oldest...post-dessert and an hour past Claire's bedtime.  They look a bit rough.

 Paul's sister and family are in town for the week, so we had a very busy but very fun Thanksgiving - and we got to host!  We started the morning hosting a Thanksgiving brunch (which I was a bit hesitant about at first, but in the end it was really nice and we had a good morning meal...so we were not hangry all day) with Paul's mom, step-dad and sister.  Claire took a nice nap and we all watched "Elf" (thank you Will Farrell).  For dinner we hosted the rest of the family ~ all twenty!  Everyone pitched in, ate a lot and just had a good time.  So much to be thankful for.  

John - always happy!

Really, this is how we (I) felt by the end of the night...sweet Grace.
