Giving Thanks 2010

We were able to make it to see the Chipley side of the Chipley-Foster families over the short Thanksgiving break. We had a fun few days taking some time out from work to eat, relax, and soak it the holiday. Along the way, there were a few "momentous" occasions .

Matt went on his first hunting trip - duck huntin' with the boys. Oh dear.


No animals died at his hand this time around, but he returned feeling victorious anyway.


Olivia refused to wear anything but her "kitty" dress for three days in a row - and she did, but only in small doses and never whilst eating :-)




We shared a number of delicious meals, made by all kinds of cooks and at all times of the day. And, Mom bought a new green and gold tablecloth - very pretty.


Matt wore this cute (I mean, very manly and handsome) gray hat he bought after seeing them all over New Orleans on our honeymoon!


And Mom, Olivia and I collaborated on a one of a kind Turkey Day art piece that is sure to be auctioned off to a very rich, highest bidder.


Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. In case you missed it, "Our Very Own Punkin' Festival" has finally been updated!

  2. Ha. Thanks, Brandon. My contribution was the sketch plus some moral support. The coloring, outlining, feather attaching and green glitter glue spreading were all my mom and three year old sister. We are all very proud. :-)
