Thanksgiving 2015

This Thanksgiving we were able to bring some new faces in to the mix - which is the first time that we have ever hosted guests that my brother Robbie invited. Not only were we able to meet his new girlfriend, Courtney, but she has a tailor-made best friend for Gretchen! In addition to meeting these lovely new ladies, we had nice enough weather to get in the pool, which always makes everything better.

This sweet little nugget is loving the "winter" pool

Meet Peityn, Gretchen's favorite new person!

These two are cut from the same cloth. The same high-energy, happy-go-lucky cloth that makes them instant friends. What a wonderful way to introduce someone to the family, spend a holiday together, swim and enjoy the company of a perfect new friend.

And then there's this little goofball. His favorite shirt, Iron Giant, and he loves silly faces and sticking out his tongue.

As with each year so far, the dinner was barely the focal point of the visit. This trip was all about Grammy, Papa Mas, our new friends Courtney and Peityn, and the silly little goofballs we call Gretchen and Alex.

We are thrilled to be able to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with family visiting our home in the US of A.
