Happy Friday!
Reasons to be happy today: The sun is shining (but it is still 20 degrees outside)! Great weekend planned with Cousin Jill's Bridal Shower, the horsedrawn carriage parade in Lebanon with the Smith Family (Maggie should love this event!), reconnecting with friends at a Christmas party, and thanks to Steph's offer to watch Maggie over night on Saturday, we get to sleep in on Sunday!! Have a great weekend!

Thanksgiving 2008
Thanksgiving 2008 was spent with great food, great family and of course our wonderful friends. Thank you to Bret & Carol for an amazing feast and really fun wine tasting (Bret, we still think that your wine is the best of them all!!). We are also thankful that dad came home from the hospital on thanksgiving and is now quickly recovering with the best nurse in the world!
The feast is about the begin. Carol is making sure that her little guest is happy!
Cocktails outside by the fire before dinner. Ahhhh, perfect. The labs are circling the table just in case something falls.
Always fun to have Brian home from college. He was such a big help at our Thanksgiving last year in Barton Bendish!
Kelly & Maggie playing before dinner. Fight on!!!
Dad looking and feeling great! He was Maggie's favorite. I think it was the See's Candy he was slipping her on the side.

We had a great time in California as always. We ate way too much, spent too much time at Gayles, and rushed around trying to see everyone! For those of you who have not yet come for a visit to the beach house... you should! Besides the beach, etc there is the best bakery in the world just a few blocks away from the house. Why are we surprised that we have both gained 5 pounds?
John teaching Maggie the basics of the ocean
Checking out his favorite surf spot the "Getty" (as he puts it).
Ta da! Sand!
Can you tell that it is really early in the morning? That is the sunrise. In case you are wondering the beach is south facing, with the bay that allows for an amazing sunrise and sunset. We are still on east coast time after all... that means 4 am wake up call from Maggie.
The best place for a cup of coffee in the morning.

While I was looking for a picture of Carol for my welcome post below, I came across tons of pictures from Gianna's wedding. Some of my favorite people are below:

At Thanksgiving, my sister Carol did not realize that we had a blog! So, her darling children were going to teach her how to log on and see miss Maggie in action. Welcome Carol to life with
Maggie! Picture of Carol from Gianna's rehersal dinner at Rodney Strong.
