Thanksgiving Pictures

For Thanksgiving, we traveled to Roger's parents' house and had a lovely time. Naomi wore cute brown plaid overalls that Danny had worn at a much younger age. Somehow it worked as knickers on Naomi, and with the wide white collar and black shoes she looked vaguely pilgrimish. Mom and Dad had asked me to take a picture of the grandkids, and I gave it my best effort. It wasn't easy. Naomi squirmed and Danny looked sulky in nearly all the pictures, then he wouldn't move out of the way when I was photographing Anna and her kids. I decided to take an extra picture of just the stairs so I can photoshop Danny out of Anna's group! For his contrariness, Danny received a good tickle from his cousin Isaac. Roger and Danny enjoyed building some towers with the foam shape set Kandy gave to Naomi.

Catching up...

Here are some pictures from early November, including a visit to Roger's parents. One picture shows Naomi in action—she saw me packing for travel and got her rolling backpack and bear and she was ready to go! There are also pictures of Danny helping make the cranberry relish by turning the crank on the grinder. The berries made a funny little popping sound.
