Thanksgiving

Laura, Alli, and I made it safe to New Mexico on Saturday night, and we've been relaxing and having a good time here. We got to go to Aunt Becky's farm this afternoon and Alli and Laura rode Streak, the younger of the two horses.

Alli loves spending time with her Nana and Papa (mom and dad). We're glad to have this time off work to spend with some of our extended family. We are happy to see Alicia and Justin when they get here tonight. We're having chicken curry stir-fry (or tofu curry stir-fry for the vegan people in our family). It's fun trying to think of dishes that are gluten-free for laura, and weight watcher friendly, and vegetarian/vegan for those who don't eat meat anymore.

We love hanging out, listening to Julia sing to her guitar music, relaxing.

Ahhhh, the only thing better than vacation with the family is paid vacation with the family...

Ah, Yes, PAID vacation - it almost makes up for being an adult and not getting your whole summer off. (well, almost, but not completely). We are thankful for paid holidays this year too. It has been since we lived in Joseph that we had paid holidays. It is nice to be able to relax and not worry that you should be out there working instead of enjoying family time. Love, Aunt Charlotte
