Happy Thanksgiving

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving. We hope you all did too.

While I was baking, R. got the kids ready. E.R. came into the kitchen to tell me, quite triumphantly, that Dad had let him do his own hair. A few minutes later he came back with a self-made tag taped to the front of his shirt using a dozen pieces of tape. His tag read: "I can fix my hair".

This started a flurry of tag making--one for each of us.

Dad's read: "Dad is a vairy good frend"
Mine read: "Mom can be hlepfull"
A.M's read: "A.M. is vairy cutdt (cute)"

He didn't stop with us. Labels began to appear all around the house.









Signs are everywhere--on fixtures, shoes, windows, stairs, etc. My favorite is the computer marked "cunpwoder". While E.R. was busy making sure we knew the contents of our house and using all the tape, I made this:

And it turned out just about perfect!

We had dinner with our new friends the Wilcoxes. We were, however, just about dis-invited to Thanksgiving dinner because the Wilcoxes are BYU fans and did not appreciate how we weaved a bit of gloating into our Sacrament Meeting talks last Sunday. (The rivalry is alive and well, even in NY.)

We had a wonderful time. We have so much to be grateful for this year, and every year. We have incredible kids, a great family whom we missed, and fantastic friends both near and far. We are so blessed! We love you and wish you a warm and happy holiday!
