Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was fun this year.  It was nice to have Grandma Faun here (and it was extra nice for me to have someone to help with the cooking too).  We made all the traditional dishes, and tried a few new ones too.  Michael made the turkey.  And the boys enjoyed watching the parade in the morning before Daddy read our traditional stories and we all took turns telling what we were thankful for.  In the afternoon the Gilchrists came over, and we had a very nice meal.  They stayed until later that night, and then they had a little Black Friday shopping to do so we convinced them to leave Greyer with us and do their shopping and then come back and hang out some more.  After we got the other boys in bed, I read Christmas books to Courtland and Greyer, and they both fell asleep on the couch before we finished the third book.  It was nice of them to keep sleeping while Susan and Andy came back we talked late into the night.  It was quite fun, and reminded me of our good old med school days when we used to stay up late with friends all the time.
