gobble gobble

Thanksgiving was delightful this year. We were missing some of our favorite faces, but the food, oh the food. It is hard to believe that the old favorites could get better, but they were.
We had 2 of the 3 Myers girls and 5 of the 6 grand boys. Hans and Aubyn, the Schuylers, the Myers and the Perrines. Rob, Addie and Blake didn't make it on account of the weather.
Maddox sure loves his cousins, although he mostly just watches them play, he is getting better about joining in.

Christmas started going up the day after and will probably be done(ish) tomorrow. I made Mama Marcia's creme wafers for a neighborhood gathering and all 3 dozen were gone within an hour. Bing and I have been trying to start a collection of holiday music and I'm thinking that a yummy Yankee candle in pine scent may be in order. I should probably start a puzzle just to pull it all together and make me feel like a kid growing up on Harvard Ave. all over again.

Our neighborhood decided on Whoville for a theme. There are story boards lining the street as you enter the "hood" and the houses along the main street have fun, whimsical cutouts and lights. I will post pictures soon, this must be shared.

And now I will end my rambling until next time.
