Liza's first Thanksgiving

The Bair family traveled to North Carolina for Liza's first Thanksgiving. As usual Liza was an angel for the 14 hours in the car. She is such a good baby and brings so much joy to us. We arrived in Montreat late Wednesday night and all settled in quickly. Thanksgiving morning was beautiful in the mountains and Bair took Liza on a long stroller ride because she loves to be outdoors and it isn't warm enough to do that in Iowa anymore. We were surrounded by the love of family and friends and the love and care they gave Liza was so kind and gentle. Liza says thanks to all of you!

I shouldn't have expected anything else with my Mother and others preparing the food; we enjoyed such a feast.

I was teasing a friend about the number of desserts she was making for her family Thanksgiving; after looking at this picture I realized I should have kept my mouth shut because my family enjoyed a few of their own.

While we were fortunate to be with so many family and friends we connected with those who weren't around by phone and webcam. Here we are visiting with my cousin Scott and are all trying to cram around the webcam.

This year Thanksgiving fell on our wedding anniversary and thanks to family friends Judi and Dick we celebrated with a champagne toast. It was so special for us to be in the place we were married to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Thank you to all for being there with us.
