Happy Thanksgiving

Here are the highlights from this year's Thanksgiving:

  • Not having to travel anywhere.
  • Milo telling his teachers, without any prompting, that he is thankful for his little brother Calder.

  • A fabulous, delicious meal that I did not have to cook myself -- Justin, you rock!
  • Uncle Ben visiting all the way from London!
  • Help in the kitchen when it is time to clean up -- special thanks to Gram!

  • New York bagels hand-delivered by Uncle Ben.
  • Sunny 70-75 degree weather in November.
  • Uncle Spencer's childlike, complete joy at visiting the zoo with us.

  • Feeding the lorikeets and hearing the Simang monkeys howl at the zoo.

  • Riding the carousel with Uncle Ben and Uncle Spencer.

  • Calder practicing walking with Gram and Oom-Poppa.
  • Riding Uncle Ben the horsey.

  • Two child-free hours of tax-free, Christmas/Chanukah shopping Friday morning.
  • Fresh baked bread.

  • Walking through the lovely and charming streets of Charleston on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
  • Time spent together as a family.
