Thanksgiving and special bonus features

Anneke's first Thanksgiving was lovely. The only thing missing were publishable photos of the event--I will save them for family viewing only, as we are all pretty much sacked out unattractively on comfortable furniture apres delicious meal. I really wish we had taken one or two family shots around the table, but that would have involved timers and maybe even a tripod. Next time I'll go to the trouble now that I have realized it would have been worth it. Said meal was at Grandma and Grandpa's house with Uncle Kevin, Aunt Stephanie, and Claire. I can't tell you how grateful I am not only to have my inlaws in town, but that I married into a truly, truly wonderful family. The above photo is Anneke and Ms. E. in their Thanksgiving best. This dress will probably get a lot of wear between now and Christmas because I absolutely love it. We got to stop by Ms. E's house to have hors d'oeuvres and champagne cocktails before heading over to G&G's.

Anyway, I'm making up for lack of Thanksgiving photos by including bonus baby photos. Aren't you thankful?
