Giving thanks

We were blessed with safe travel and reasonable weather as we returned to visit family for Thanksgiving break.  We enjoyed our first holiday as married folk, and much to niece Lauren's good fortune we are still quite silly.



Alternating nights between the Nebraska and Iowa side of the river, we even got to have two helpings of Thanksgiving day desserts and two different recipes of Black Friday chili.


Between an Xbox dance off, a sprint into a head-on praire wind, and 3 children under 6 we were ready get some rest. As it would have it the end of the semester always brings heaps of deadlines. We are just beginning to catch up now in the second week of December. I guess that means we are ready for Christmas!
