Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving 2009 was busy. We celebrated with both of our families. There was plenty of delicious food and great company to be had. While Claire had a blast with all of her cousins, Charlotte was a bit overwhelmed and not much of a sleeper. She slept a total of 2 hours the entire day (which is nothing compared to her usual) and was completely done by about 6pm. We headed home and called it a night. Honestly, I think we were all tired. Luckily the rest of the weekend was pretty low-key. Art and Claire ventured out to get a tree on Friday morning. The highlight of the trip for Claire was her first taste of hot chocolate on their way home. She loved it!! We spent the rest of the day getting the decorations up and trimming the tree. Saturday night Art and I were lucky enough to catch a movie and dinner. We went to a new theater in St. Louis Park that serves alcohol and has nice leather seats - definitely our new theater of choice! We saw Blind Side, which was a great sports movie.

Today we have been running errands and hanging out around home. I fit in a nap, which is always a good thing. Especially these days when Charlotte has been giving us major trouble at night.

There are a few pictures below: one of Claire wearing Charlotte's 3-6 month sweatshirt (you think they will share clothes some day?!?!) and one of Charlotte sporting a barrette.
