we had my family over for dinner on sunday and it was so great to see everyone.
jesson always helps out with vivian...what a guy! vivian's has a slight fear of strangers recently, and will put her head on my shoulder when other people try to take her (so cute!) although, she really likes all the men in my family. they each take a turn holding her and i love it! it wouldn't be complete without my brother, pat, ALWAYS reminding me that she likes to be patted.
my mom always comes through with an activity, usually involving monetary reinforcement for whomever will participate in her kind of fun. today it was a list of 100 things you are grateful for = $10--not bad!
we cooked salmon and steak and everyone brought yummy things to add. it tasted great.
going into this holiday season, i feel very grateful for family!
