Happy Thanksgiving!

Addie started gearing up for Thanksgiving on Tuesday by working on her first art project! She traced her hand and decorated it with seeds and feathers to create a turkey! Miss Tina helped with the tracing and gluing, but we were assured that Addie picked out the feathers herself.

We all had a good Thanksgiving and were able to visit with both sides of the family. Addie's favorite dishes today were: turkey, sweet potatoes, and Darren's mashed potatoes - Delicious!

We have so much to be thankful for this year, and are excited for the holiday season to begin! (And a special thanks to Grandma and Papa for the use of their camera while ours is getting fixed!)

How We've Been

It looks like it has taken us a while to recover from Halloween! I think the biggest change since then is that it gets light an hour earlier and therefore gets dark an hour earlier. We are just chugging along in our routine and having a little bit of fun along the way.

We attended a Baby Name Election Party where we voted on possible names for our friend, Baby Vreeland, who is expected to arrive in mid-February. FYI: the winning names were Lucy and William - but there is still a good amount of time before the name-inauguration in which things could change.

We also had a family first this week, with my cousin Katie coming over to babysit. From what I heard from Katie and Addie, they had a great time together. Brian and I had a good time too, as we dined and danced with our friends at the ColdPlay concert.

By now many of you may be wondering what's missing from this post... a picture! This week our camera broke. I have no idea when or how it happened, but as soon as I turn it on it turns itself right off. This is simply not acceptable behavior for a camera. So I will end with another FYI: the Corbett Camera fund accepts both cash and checks ;)
