Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving 2010 was in the mountains of North Carolina and we had a great time with family and friends who are close enough to be family.  Liza and Nana made cookies with Liza's favorite part - putting on the icing.  If you look closely you can see they spelled Liza in cookies, Meg in cookies but somehow Nana forgot how to spell Chris so his name is now C-H-I-S. 

Hally and Molly couldn't miss out on the action and Liza had a great time taking them on walks with Nana. 

One day while Daddy was fishing, Nana, Liza and I went to the Grove Park Inn to see the gingerbread houses and we were amazed by the talented artists.  Liza's favorite gingerbread house looked like SpongeBob and I broke my camera before getting a picture of it. 

Auntie Em and Liza revived their Thanksgiving tradition and made a gingerbread house together. 

Spending time with family and friends was the highlight of the trip.  We are so glad to have the opportunity for so many wonderful people to be a part of Liza's life - thanks to all!  Judy and Dick came from DC and are always a HUGE help in the kitchen.  



Emmie, Mario and Phyllis were checking out the newly installed TV (thanks Uncle Jerry) and looking up things on the Internet. 

 There was no shortage of activities to partake in - some went hiking...

Others went bowling...

Others worked on their computer...

While others ate and drank...

Regardless of what activities you participated in, how many turns you took cleaning up dishes, walking dogs or cooking up a storm a fun time was had by all. 

We also celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary and my Mother's birthday.  So many reasons that make being with family and friends extra special.

Thanks for having us and we look forward to next year!
