Thanksgiving Weekend 2011

We had a marathon Thanksgiving this year. We spent most of the day on Thursday at home, relaxing....sort of. Dan brought his amazing spinach salad to dinner, so he made that. I made pumpkin pie and bon bons! So, we baked and cooked, but none of it was too hard. That evening we spent Thanksgiving with my family. All the cousins had a great time, thanks to Dan who played with them so much!

I just love this one of Cameron and Brooke!

Thursday morning we got the news that Dan's sister, Lauren, was in labor. Her due date was the day after Thanksgiving. Little Cora arrived right on time, 3:45am! All 8lb, 15 oz of her!!! We were thinking of Lauren constantly on Thursday and were glad to get the texts early in the morning on Friday with the exciting news. So, we hopped in our car and drove to Seattle to visit our newest niece. Unfortunately, the only picture I have of Lauren and Cora isn't good, sorry Lauren.
