We ventured off in 2 vehicles to see our family for Thanksgiving. Besides double the gas, it was actually very peaceful...we had the chance to divide the kids up by who gets along the best, and it made for a very pleasant 2 hours. Sometimes going to grandma's is like a treasure hunt. This time L discovered my old fashion plates, and R is wearing a dress that my grandmother made me when I was her age. I can't believe that it still looks brand new after being in the attic for over 25 yrs. My mother in law had just gotten back from Hawaii, and she brought back these adorable flowers, and she curled R's hair and put on make-up...her Hawaii Sailor theme reminded me of something from Pearl Harbor ;)
After our tree was pulled over and broken last year, we purchased a new, larger one. We have wanted to get a big one for several years, but just didn't want to spend the money until we had to ;) I love it. It was so tall and full...and made me smile. I love the glow of the room at night when the room is clean, the tv is off, and you are left with a peaceful glow ;)
