A Crazy Thanksgiving Week

It all started with a visit from Marni the weekend before Thanksgiving.  Carter and Marni had a blast and Mimi and I got to go out on two dates!

Then the Jordan's showed up and Carter had more playmates than he knew what to do with.  There was a lot of reading time on the couch, which suited everyone just fine.

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner complete with family, good friends, good food, and a fair bit of geekery in the turkey cooking department.

Carter was very ready for dinner and ate himself silly -- doesn't take much.

"Hey, what's a guy gotta do to get some pickled peaches around here?"

(Thanks Grammy!)

To walk it all off we had a couple good hikes at the local State Park.

Cruising with Mama

To end the week, we had a little (and somewhat belated) surprise party for Gram.  

Boy was she surprised.
