We have enjoyed a wonderful weekend with ALL of our family. Kate and Max were spoiled by the Kranz family Thursday and the Johnson family Friday and Saturday.
Mama Kranz brought all the Thanksgiving fixings Thursday. I could not believe the Turkey that rolled in our door - Amazing! She did an unbelievable job of preparing everything in advance, transporting it all to our house, and finishing it all at the same time. She did it so gracefully, stopping to play with Kate and Max, and sipped a glass of wine. Impressive! Papa Kranz played with Kate and Max and told them stories of how he was going to spoil them when we move to Greensboro in three weeks. Uncle Matt steered clear of any poopy diapers but embraced some one-on-one time with each of them.

| From Kate & Max - November |
The Johnson (and Welch) families descended upon us Friday morning. I was ready with lots of munchies and a freshly brewed pot of apple cider! Liz was in charge of fruit, veggies, and bread and she outdid herself making sure everyone had their favorites including PINEAPPLE (in a separate bowl of course). Peter got home just in time to execute the cooking phase of dinner. He had sketched out a plan to ensure that everything would finish at the same time. As planned, it all turned out perfectly and at the same time. Lana was in charge of the corn souffle and it was awesome. The three cousins played well together. Emma was a little nervous around Kate (it might have been the hair) but LOVED her Max. Max just starred at her and kept smiling even when she pulled his pacifier out. Kate joined in the fun and pulled out Emma's pacifier. Emma rose above it all and gave Max's pacifier to Kate! What a trio.
We had a super fun Saturday! We baked out tails off, I took my parents to see the new house through the windows, filled Tins of Love, got pedicures while Grandma and Grandpa took care of the kids, Lana cooked an amazing veggie lasagna, and we sang songs at the table using gestures that included bees, bears, boobs, and monkeys...there was a little wine involved!
Fun times, great memories, lots of wine!
