ok, chris was here for five days and i took two stinkin' pictures (and not very good ones) the whole time. sorry. we did have a lot of fun. she fit right into the crazy chaos that is my husband's family. we rented the ice arena friday night and had it just for family and friends for about two hours. it was super fun. chris was a trooper, she even let coach jamie talk her into relay races and some killer games of sharks and minnows.

so thanksgiving here was very thankful. i know that many of you out there are struggling with this season, for various reasons, and it makes me want to have you all here with me. bobbi said it right. the holidays are not about food. they are about people.

thanks for being my people. sidehugs to you all.
