Happy Thanksgiving & First Snow

Darryl took us to a posh place for our Thanksgiving meal!  The food was really good and the views were spectacular on the marina.  We do live in such a beautiful place even when overcast.  It really helped make the day special since we live away from our families.  Thanks sweetie we had a great time.
Liliah's first attempt at buttering her own bread
Success and so proud of her self! We are quite spoiled as Liliah is very easy to take out to dinner as she behaves so well

We had our first snow since Liliah has been home from China on Monday night before Thanksgiving.  She had such joy and wonderment in her eyes at seeing it fall.  She has been making snow angels in the house and LOVED making them in the real stuff.  We stayed home on Tuesday because of the weather and played outside and had hot cocoa.  The perfect start to the holidays.   

This is the night it started falling just before dark.
 
She brought the pink bubble rap envelope out to take store the snow in

Maddy also got in on the action.....she loves chasing and hunting for her tennis ball which becomes a snowball after a few throws

 



Let the fun begin!
