Thanksgiving et al.
Thanksgiving was a much needed time of slowing down for us. Michaela & Sami came down from college & Diane, Hannah, and I got a 4 day weekend. Sami is going to stay with us until at least Spring term, as Michaela has exciting Christmas break plans that don't include a small, energetic dog. Wednesday the house was full of the aroma of baking pies and slow-cooked ham. 
Thursday was the all impressive Thanksgiving feast. We were joined for games and food by Hannah's dad, James. 
Hannah & James played video games while Hannah sat in her little yellow, Oscar Meyer edition, Radio Flyer wagon. 
Michaela taught us all a new card game, where we each used a deck... Hannah, once again, ate both drumsticks, and a good time was had by all. Friday found Kevin writing a paper for school, and the girls at the movies. It was actually a pleasant time. and then Sunday Cecilia, one of Michaela's roommates, joined us for the drive to Seattle in the new Prius. I love driving that thing. 
The whole 60 mpg thing is very nice, indeed! It was a long drive up as the 1000's of other drivers had a really hard time with the whole "merging into 2 lanes from 3" thing. But we made it, had good food up there, and Diane and I drove back down and got home at like 1:30am. Then the vacation was over, as we were up at 6am again the next day.
