A Thanksgiving Visit

We had some of my family (7!) visit in dribs and drabs for 11 days over Thanksgiving. Starting with my purple haired sister in law, which she colored in support of TCU. Then my nephew's family and finally my brother. My brother who is infamous for riding his bike over a cliff two years ago, while living in China.  I made him come to mass at St. James, so he could meet the many people who prayed for his recovery. At mass, Shelle was asked if her hair was colored for Advent!, which would be cool.

Dapper Dan

Schnitzel got a bow tie at the groomer!...he looks so dapper.

Another Trip To Canada

Andrew and Jack got some new ink. Jack's is in honor of our dear Mairead, and Andrew's is in honor of Seattle I suppose.

Another Homecoming

Jack went to HNA's homecoming.  We had to purchase all the accoutrements for him, as he had only dress shoes, but nothing else.  He borrowed Dad's Paris tie, that had little bears on it, which his date thought was so cute.  He looks so grown up, and kind of like a reverend! When the dance was over they went back to her house to bake cookies for youth group the next day.  A very fun, but blustery, night.

Mom Cooks

Tonight we tried Pasta Primavera, for our vegetarian son. It was actually quite good but the other carnivore boys were raiding the kitchen only a few hours later. I don't think it was filling enough for those always hungry beasts.

Dad Cooks

Dad made Shakshuka tonight for dinner, delicious and hearty, especially when eaten with naan.

I think he should cook EVERY night.

A New Bed

Schnitzel got a new bed, that he will only use if it is on the couch, spoiled baby. I think Frosty is jealous, but he won't actually get into it.
