We had a full Thanksgiving weekend. We had a full house for the Thanksgiving holiday and Adam's baptism. Our parents, all three sets, and my sister visited. Thursday we had our Thanksgiving meal, raked leaves and hung out. Friday we did a bit of shopping. Normally I go out early in the morning but this year I had an eye infection and just didn't have the energy for it. The boys made gingerbread men cookies and we did some more hanging out.
Saturday was set aside for Adam's baptism. He wanted it to be just a family affair - so it was just family, the bishop and the bishop's son, Adam's friend. He was very attentive during Aunt Holly's talk (her props included Luke Skywalker, Ben 10 and Buzz Lightyear). Afterwards, we came home and had some refreshments--white cake (Adam's favorite) and German treats. Later, we had dinner at McDonald's per Adam's request.
On Sunday, G&G Kennington, G&G Leonard and Aunt Holly went home.
Monday was spent putting in a new bannister. Royal and Robert did it in one day. Once we stain and finish it, I'll post pictures. It looks really nice. And it's just in time since Gavin is on the verge of crawling.
We are thankful for lots of things--having family for Thanksgiving, Adam's choice to be baptized, a new bannister and being able to spend time with our loved ones.

Since when has Matt been camera shy??? It sounds like you had a great weekend!!!!! I can't wait to see pics of the banister. Tell Adam congrats on his baptism!
We are thankful for you, too, and very glad that we were able to visit and see Adam baptized. The 1,722 miles were definitely worth the drive!
