Happy Thanksgiving!

David took Wednesday of this week off of work, so we spent the day downtown as a family. We went to the Peabody-Essex Museum to see the new special exhibit, got Avonlea Jane another game at a local toy store, and had lunch at Red's.

For Thanksgiving, we were excited to have our first opportunity to use both leaves of our new dining room table.

Avonlea Jane is hungry and ready to eat.

We had nine people for dinner and a total of sixteen afterward for dessert and game playing. We were glad that so many friends and neighbors could spend the evening with us. (Above: Mary V, Nina, Michele, Liv, Avonlea Jane, David, Roseanne, Josh, and Keiran is taking the photo.)
