Grateful. Thankful. Pleased. Contented. Happy. Appreciative. I could go on and on describing how wonderful it was to have my mom out to visit for Thanksgiving. She arrived on the train from Seattle on Sunday night and the next day we dived right into the projects we had planned for the week. She painted stunning works of art on the kids' bedroom walls, did most of the holiday baking and cooking, and beat me soundly at Bananagrams. She also did the table centerpiece and we made these cute turkey place cards with the kids.The kids of course couldn't get enough of "Grandma Ann," and the week flew by all too quickly. It was a much-needed and much-appreciated visit, and the only thing that would have made it better was to have my brothers and sisters out here also...you're all invited next year!
10, 9, 8, 7... I LOVE this retro rocket Grandma painted on Jake's wall. The jet stream curves around the corner and we're planning to add some stars around it with glow-in-the-dark paint. Blast off!
Although this was not the design I had imagined, it's what Haley picked out and we were all delighted with the finished picture - so cute!
MOM!
Per Breckon family tradition, we put up the Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Is Alex really 5 1/2 months old already? He had his first solid food (rice cereal) this week - yum!
Rob and our little pumpkin! Look at those cheeks!
