Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

I would say Happy New Year too, but we aren't celebrating that holiday this week :). Yesterday we had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast, with time playing outside with the kids, football, and the Macy's Parade where we saw the Highty Tighties marching (and they looked good!). Today the kids were lost in piles of wrapping paper as we celebrated Christmas together (we are doing it now because we won't be together on actual Christmas). and boy, Christmas with 4 toddlers sure is a lot of fun....very fast moving as paper and toys are going everywhere. Now we are refereeing the sharing of new toys and the eating of too many cookies and pies. Also my older brother Ricky is coming to visit today with his new wife and 2 step daughters...it has been a very long time since I have seen my brother and have never met his new family. We are very excited about bridging this gap and seeing our families together. I would post a few pictures but this dial up is killing me!!

And for those who are wondering, we had a fundue night with our dear friends on our last night in MA. We played games, laughed, cried, and shared a wonderful evening together. We are so blessed with what we have (and I say HAVE because we still have it) there. We were also blessed enough to share in a miracle with our friends there too. He is just so good...and congratulations to Rick and Wendy again!!! It was so nice to leave with a smile on our face as we think about your miracle.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! We love and miss you guys with all our hearts.
