Thanksgiving Weekend

It has been a very long and packed holiday.  College daughter came home on the Megabus for Thanksgiving, so along with her, ourselves and our youngest, we had her boyfriend, my parents, and my youngest sister and her two children here for the holiday meal on Thursday.  On Friday through Saturday we had the two grandkids here while their mom worked back to back extended shifts at Target (she also worked Thursday).  So, lots of excitement.

5 yr old Aydan donned an apron to cook and care for his baby.

Then there was a lot of book reading.

Friday night we went to the Holiday Tree Lighting at Germantown Municipal Park to see the decorations.

Santa was indoors inside City Hall, so of course we had to pay a visit and partake of the treats they had set up.

Back home, on Saturday -- making faces with Mr. Potato Head.

And playing with a very patient dog!

Then we started decorating the Christmas tree we put in the dining room.

I think grouping all the ornaments on one branch makes for a more powerful decorating statement, don't you?
