Thanksgiving

Last week/weekend was a bit rough on the sleeping front at night.  Drew was FINALLY cutting his bottom front teeth.  They were both cut by Monday and he's been back to is happy self since.  He's so cute with those two little teeth peeking through!  Soon, we will be able to try some puffs!  Yay!  Along with his first teeth came his first words.  It started out as "bah bah bah bah" to "ba ba ba ba" to "da da da da."  He doesn't connect saying "da da" to Daniel, but he's pretty proud of himself when he says it :).  Way to go pal!
We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday with some of our friends and family.  It was a beautiful day and we are thankful for so much.  I started the day early by making a second batch of scones to take to our neighborhood friends, the Cartwright's house.  I had made a batch of chocolate chip scones the night before and they didn't really turn out as planned, but tasted ok.  Yesterday morning I made cranberry orange scones and although they looked better, I wasn't crazy about the flavor.  I've got a lot of work to do in perfecting my scone skills.  Anyway, we enjoyed a nice morning with neighbors at the annual Thanksgiving celebration at the Cartwright's.  We are thankful for them and the friendship we have developed.  After that, we walked home to finish prepping for the big dinner.  This year we celebrated at Tom and Beth's.  I think there were 18 or so of us.....Becca, Dave, Libby and Julia came from Texas; Meade, Emily and baby Blythe from Chicago; Matt and Page; Creigh; Jeremy, Sarah and Molly; our family and Tom and Beth.  The afternoon and evening were filled with amazing food and great conversation.  We are so thankful for all of our friends and family.  Blessed.
