Thanksgiving

It's 2011 and I haven't even posted Thanksgiving pictures yet. I am a bloggy slacker. Anyway, we went to Minnesota for Thanksgiving and it was as relaxing (and cold) a week as we've had in a long, long time. Many thanks (again, a month and a half late) to Nana and Grandpa for hosting us, and to all the aunts and uncles and cousins who gave us such a warm welcome.

Some highlights of the trip -- sledding and snowball fights for the whole 10 minutes that the kids lasted out in the elements, John's projects with Grandpa (a birdhouse and a paddleboat for the bathtub), a trip to Mall of America and the American Girl store (so that Sonja would have proper clothes for her Minnesota vacation, of course), and TWO movies -- Harry Potter for us, and Tangled for the kids.
