Thanksgiving Games

We had a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving!! David, Julia and I travelled to Maryland to be with Lisa, Nick, Sarah, and Michael. Marcia and Matthew joined us for two days. Jan came in on Wednesday. AND Cheshire and Jason came in from Connecticut and NYC, Jason crossing the pond to spend the week with Cheshire and with us.

Julia travelled well, fell in love with Michael, and found her way to feeling comfortable with every member of our party. No, her behavior was not perfect -- we slept in Sarah's room and I home that she has forgiven us for the mess and disarry that we left -- but way better than last year, and better even travelling a few months ago. We also had very good luck with our flights which we did not include in our blessings but probably should have.



We all enjoy playing games and we played quite a few during the weekend. This is a math game, much like scrabble, called Equate. I did not get a chance to play it, but I should probably practice for next year.
Julia played with a lego dinosaur, made by Jason after I whimped out, during some of our games. She doesn't play games yet, but maybe all that watching will rub off on her.
