My parents spent another Thanksgiving with us. I'm so glad they've been able to join us these past years. It's nice to have family here and to also relax. On the day before Thanksgiving, Jack installed the new island counter top. Beautiful! And huge! The picture above shows that all four adults could have our own work station at the island without being in each other's way at all. Really nice.
We usually get our Christmas tree on the day after Thanksgiving.
My parents were very generous to stay with our kids for about 28 hours so that Jack and I could sneak in a quick getaway to celebrate his 40th birthday. We enjoyed a hike (just the two of us! I don't think that's happened since we've had children), dinner, a lovely bed and breakfast, Christmas shopping (thank you, Jack!), and time reading in one of our favorite bookstores. Thank you, Mom and Dad.
Our family celebrated Jack's birthday almost exactly as we celebrated my birthday back in October. After a family hike, we ordered a pizza, make chocolate pudding cake, and ate both by the fire in the living room. Jack fell asleep early by the fire and I did some furious Cyber Monday shopping.
I don't take many pictures of adult birthdays, but I had to take this picture of Annie's birthday project for her Dad.
