Thanksgiving and Some Other Random Pictures

We were lucky enough this year to have Adam's grandparents, Nana and Grandaddy, at our house for Thanksgiving this year. It was really special for us to have them with us for the week, and especially to get these pictures of Charlotte with her great-grandparents that she can treasure as she grows older. Thanks so much for traveling the long distance to see us, Nana and Grandaddy, and we look forward to seeing you in North Carolina this spring!
(Above: We decorated the Christmas tree on the last day that Nana and Grandaddy were here. Charlotte is holding a Sesame Street ornament knitted with love by her great, great-grandmother Mamie Haynes for Charlotte's daddy when he was a little boy. I think these little heirlooms are especially neat because we have nothing like them in my family.)

(Yep, it was still this warm in Houston the week before Thanksgiving.)

Nana and Charlotte read lots of books together.

Nana taught me how to carve a turkey and arrange it on the platter to look like the turkey. Pretty cool

Of course we have heirlooms in our family.. they are just all broken from so many little hands all over them through the years.

Okay... Charlotte is GORGEOUS. Seriously, good work on that one. I subscribe to your blog and always look forward to seeing pics of this cutie! And... Charlotte just might be one of the best names out there. I might have to steal it from you if I ever have another girl!
