Long overdue, lots of happenings...

Since my last post (too long ago- could keeping this updated be my New Year's Resolution?), we've had Thanksgiving, two birthday celebrations for Nate, Christmas, and the New Year has begun. Whew.

Thanksgiving was celebrated at the lake house with Mom and Dad, and Aunt Marilyn and Uncle John. Lots of good food and good company, and it was a nice, albeit brief, break.

We celebrated Nate's second birthday for the first time while we were there for Thanksgiving, so Grandma and Grandpa could celebrate his birthday with him. Nate's favorite part was the neon blue icing on the cake, and he loved the singing.

Then we came home, and celebrated Nate's birthday again (on his birthday *wink*). Becki, Elijah, and Raymond joined us for a small party here are home- pizza, cake, and a few presents. Once again, the birthday boy was thrilled with the cake and singing, and made a heroic effort to blow out the candles on his cake.

So that covers Thanksgiving and the two birthdays. I'll take care of Christmas... later. ;)
