Pie and Decorations

Before we sunk out teeth into some delicious pie, we went for a walking tour of downtown. It was cold, but it was great to walk off some of that turkey and dressing. Coming home and eating our pie and drinking piping, hot coffee was a perfect ending to the day!

The next day we did not get out for Black Friday (yea!). Justin and his dad began a window box under our large front window. It’s always needed something more and now we have a wonderful flowerbox. It’s so good that it looks like it has always been a part of the house! Thank you to Mr. Sidney and Justin!! Justin and I painted it the following day. It was COLD that morning, but it ended up pretty nice. We spent the day decorating the outside of the house. We were the first on our block, maybe even our neighborhood, to put up Christmas decorations (lights, garland, wreaths). Daddy and Justin took a great picture of the house at night, but I’ll have to wait to get that from Daddy.

Your blog is so neat!! I'm so glad your first Thanksgiving was such a smashing success!!! I remember my first one, too. It was just perfect! However, the walk downtown seemed like a perfect solution to get you prepared for the dessert,and what a wonderful picture in front of the Capitol building with the Greshams all bundled up! Lucy looks so cute! I could almost taste the pie, and I know I could feel the warmth of the delicious cup of joe! Congratulations on a job well done. I'm anxious to see the beautiful window box teeming with pansies! All is right with the world,eh?
Love, Mama

Beautiful window box. Wonderful job on the hard work. It paid off. I love making things and was also sad I was not there to help build it. I'm encouraging mom and dad to put one up in there window as well.
Love,
