A Thankful Weekend

we had a great weekend.

friday night we had our thanksgiving dinner

we have so much to be thankful for.

the rest of the weekend was spent

eating more of our 19lb turkey..

i made a big batch of stock

and a turkey and rice soup.

and of course turkey, cranberry

and stuffing sandwiches 

on our favorite baguettes.

saturday evening we went to

a dinner party.

another thanksgiving dinner

but with french influences.

the kids were invited

and they had fun

with the other kids there.

we met people from poland,

scotland, ireland and morocco.

what a wonderful time we had!

sunday i was able to get out by myself.

i walked around the city and started

some shopping.

i met up with steve and the kids

for our annual christmas card photo

shoot. 

thanks to a colleague of 

steve's. 

it was nothing like

last years!

i'm pretty happy with how

it came out.

now that the card is done..

i need to find a tree.

and ornaments.

and some stockings.

and decorations.

but right now..

griffy and i are cuddling

up to watch 

the polar express.

here comes christmas!!
