Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the kick-off for the holiday season and since we had to take a pass on all the fun last year, we're making up for it this year. 

We spent a couple nights with the Miller family in the Chicago suburbs, including a quick up-and-back to visit baby Ivy in Milwaukee, then finished with a couple nights with the Twanows in Spring Valley. 

It was a lot of fun for Linden to play with her cousins, Bea and Wes during the Miller Thanksgiving. 

Aside from Liz's wedding over the summer, they hadn't had a chance to play together and this was the first time we got to see Wes on the move. 

The Twanow Thanksgiving provided another chance for Linden to visit and play with cousins -- this time with Chapin and Gibson. We arrive one night before they did though, which meant that Linden had her own personal lullaby from "Bumpa" Twanow. 

The next day, we had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with family and Linden was perhaps the most satisfied of us all. :-)
