Thanksgiving

Spen was home for Thanksgiving weekend. His fist visit since we dropped him off in August! He caught up with a lot of friends and ran some important errands. It was great to have him home for a few days.

On Thanksgiving day, we drove to Rockford to celebrate with my parents and some aunts and uncles. The food was delicious! And Claire even tried brussels sprouts.

Saturday we drove to the annual Karstedt pizza party. Lucian's grandparents host a family party every year, since they do not return from Florida at Christmas time. Lucian brought his photography equipment this time and took lots of photos of the family.

I love seeing all the little ones play and get to know each other. I am however, anxiously awaiting the stage where Kyle stays in the room with all the kids instead of darting down the hall or sneaking behind the bar. He is exhausting!

Our attempt at a holiday card. Who knows, it still might make the cut.

Claire received an advent calendar from Grandma Barb. She loves opening the slot each day and hanging an ornament on the tree.
