Thanksgiving

What a busy five days!
Patrick arrived on Tuesday and Isabel and Matt arrived on Wednesday.
On Wednesday morning, I received a lovely package in the mail including this letter:

So yay! It's official!

On Wednesday evening, the fam threw a surprise birthday party for Tessie. 

Thanksgiving had the usual festivities, none of which I have pictures of. Claudia had us over to her apartment, and of course we played games.

Then, on Sunday, it was Tessie's actual birthday. I can't believe she is sixteen!

The only picture of the two of us on her birthday!

So it was a weekend full of celebrations! Now we are settling back down and enjoying Advent!
