Our family had a very delicious and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! Here are some pictures from the past few days…

So much to be thankful for!

The day after Thanksgiving brought a lot more hustle and bustle to the house. My brother Ted and Elisa had spent Thanksgiving Day in New Jersey, but came to join us for dinner on Friday, as well as Dan’s sister who visited us from New York.

Some more photos of our little cutie…  When I put her hair in a milkmaid braid, she pulled on my bathrobe and called herself “Queen Mio.” 😛
