You may think it's odd having Thanksgiving and Christmas in one weekend (and Christmas coming first), but we really enjoyed the combination! It was great to be with everyone and celebrate together over the Holiday break. We had such a good time and we're so grateful to Grandma & Grandpa Livingstone for the great Thanksgiving dinner, presents that are being enjoyed every day, hospitality, and all the good lovins' and attention the kids were in much need of. We're glad that we were able to spend time with the Hunt's and we'll miss seeing everyone while we're in town again over the Christmas break. I had really good intentions of taking pictures of all the families. We really need them so that we can plaster our fridge with all the familiar faces that are so far away-- so remember to send them with your Christmas cards!
Here is Maggie with her new doll. She loves the doll, but she really loves the little squeaky bear that came with it, she's a sucker for anything stuffed and that can be slept with!
Johnny got a new Star Wars (Darth Vader) Transformer, Grandpa & Grandma know the way to his heart!
This is all the adults for Thanksgiving dinner, there were 36 of us total. All the Livingstone family were there except for Brackon & Marcie's family. We missed them so much that we invited our friends, Michael & Kendra Anderson to fill in their spot, but we realized their spot couldn't be filled. We loved spending the day with our friends though and afterward they said, "This was one of the best Thanksgiving's we've had in a long time!" So all in all it was very successful.
Here is Josie, mid-clap showing her excitement over her new walk 'n ride. I'm sure when she decides to really act 10 months old and finally learn to take a few steps (after crawling, of course) she'll really enjoy it!
John and I after stuffing ourselves. It's a good think the table covered my belly-- it was really full and the food was delicious! Thanks to all!

It was so much fun to have you here. It was great to have Kendra and Mike here too. Love you all. It feels so good to have Christmas done - the season is so relaxing and unrushed I think I'll everything ready by Thanksgiving next year.
