Thanksgiving Travels

We traveled to Florida over Thanksgiving. It was very nice to get away for a few days and spend time with Mom, Katie & Jimmy, and Jimmy's parents (Jim & Deb). We had a lot of fun playing with the girls, playing games, and of course stuffing our faces!!! We celebrated an early Christmas as well. So, the girls got to open some presents and enjoy playing with their new toys. Unfortunately, the Brooks family all came down with a rather violent stomach bug during our visit. Though we were uncomfortable . . . ok I was miserable, we still had a really good time!

We loved seeing you guys. Just think, the next time we see you I'll have a baby boy. Hopefully at that visit no one will get a stomach bug!
Love,
Aunt Katie

Hey Lori,
It's great to see you back "on". The girls look huge in these pics!! Looking forward to more updates!

Wanted to ask you if you could rec ommend a good Christmas book for the girls. I know Santa all that jazz is fun but I definately want them to know and understand why we have Christmas. I bought 2 of the books you recommended before (The Big Picture Story Bible and Big Truths for Little Kids) and we LOVE them and use them daily!! I have looked but everything seems a little too advanced. I think the simpler, the better. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!!

Great having you all here! It was fun getting out the old Lincoln logs, blocks, pop beads and other "by gone toys". Madeline is so sweet:) I loved holding her and watching her circle the coffee table covered with toys that were good to eat...ha! I really enjoyed playing with Hannah and reading to her. She's a sweety, too, and such a good helper, decorating the Christmas tree and preparing Thanksgiving dinner with me:) Thank you all for coming "over the river and through the woods"...I miss everyone already!

Love, Grammy

Lori - Yay! You're back! And what better welcome back gift can I give you than to tag you with a blog "chain letter-type thing." My apologies. But it's kind of fun. See my blog...
