We had a bounty filled weekend with thanksgiving celebrations on Thursday at home and Saturday in Bellingham. It was special sharing Thanksgiving with and introducing our international guests to the great American tradition of gratitude and turkey dinner with all the classic trimmings.

Lake had a wonderful time socializing with cousins, auntie and grandparents! Mummy relished the abundance of a four day mini staycation and even hung a the pictures over the mantle that had been enjoying the fashionable yet lazy lean for the past year. That felt like the bonus gift this year beyond food shelter and family… the gift of time, the time to relax into life.
