Thanksgiving

It has been years since I've spent Thanksgiving with my actual family. Years of graduate school and living far away from my parents created a tradition where I spent the day with friends. So, for the first time in many years, four kids were home for the weekend.  Gene & his family, Gary, Greg, and Miles & I shared a lovely meal with my parents on Thursday.

Friday? CHAOS! I took Miles to see "Penguins of Madagascar" (recommended!), but the first theater we went to was 21+ only (I guess it has a bar), so we had to brave the local mall. After 45 minutes of looking for parking and many bad words uttered, I was about to give up when we found parking.

On Saturday, Miles & I spent much of the day at the Seattle Center.  Each December, they set out an enormous train set which occupies quite a bit of space. Kids are allowed to be conductor.  Then we saw "Dick Whittington and his Cat" at the Seattle Children's Theatre. 

  

  

I simply cannot believe that it's December...wishing you lots of love this month!
