Thankfully, Thanksgiving is over! We had a GREAT weekend, but we're all pooped! Let's just say our very wonderful week ended in tears for Lucy, who was so wired and confused that she just had a little meltdown by the end of Saturday. Poor kid!
Let's see...On Wednesday, Andrew was off work, so we took the car to the shop and ran a few errands. We cleaned the house and got everything in order for our big Thanksgiving dinner! Kandi, her mama and Delilah came over to visit. Lucy didn't know what to think of Delilah!
In the end, she REALLY liked her!
The Merkel family showed up late Wednesday night, and we all got into bed to rest up for the big day!
On Thursday morning we were up nice and early, thanks to Miss Lucy's bright start. Mom and I cooked like crazy and the boys all went to LaVale to play football. It was a very nice and quiet house! We got a lot done, and everyone came back dirty and sore just in time to watch football. Kristy, Erik and Xander showed up as the game was starting and we got dinner on the table by 4! It was a delicious dinner, and it was so wonderful having it here! I had so much fun cooking, and it was so nice to see Andrew so thrilled to be at home for a holiday.
Lucy had her first Thanksgiving dinner! She had stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied carrots and pumpkin pie! Lucky girl! She loooooooved dinner!
On Friday, we spent the day relaxing and baking cinnamon popcorn for the cookie bake! Lucy had a nice quiet day around the house, eating puffs and watching the goings-on.
On Friday night, we all played hide and seek, which was hilarious because we could hide Paul in all sorts of small spaces.
And today was the 1st Annual Fabulous Holiday Cookie Bake! Lucy was decked out in her cookie gear and had lots of fun doing....Lucy things. 
Nina made toffee! It was very good. She's brilliant.
Lucy and Lilly had fun rolling around on the floor, being silly cousins.
And Christian kept things under control....women!
We gave the camera to Paul for group pictures...he got half of us! He didn't get LB, Kristy and Nina in the picture, but I promise they were there!!
We had a great day. It was exhausting, but really fun!

All in all, it was a GREAT Thanksgiving. What am I thankful for? My wonderful friends and family, my wonderful husband, our perfect little Lucy, our warm and happy home and for our good health. I can't count the blessings! This is my best year ever.

THOSE PICTURES OF LUCY AND THE DOG ARE TOO MUCH!!!
The girls look too cute!!
I think Delilah had a really nice time with Lucy. She thanks you for inviting her along! Looks like you had a fabulous weekend! Glad I could share a little of it with you guys.
I commented on all these pictures we love, but I don't think you got it after Thanksgiving.
Each and every picture is great and we enjoyed them so much. How nice to be able to "share" in your fun and special time via the photos and great, fun captions.
Love you guys!
Grandma and Grandpa H.
The GREAT Grandparents!
