This photo is from the series taken at my school this fall. Somehow the photographer managed to get me to sit still and smile. Unfortunately, my barber was on vacation the week before and week of school photos. We briefly considered seeing someone else just that one time but barber loyalty is highly important. My mom was trying to keep these photos secret (not even my dad has seen how cute they are) but this one is too perfect not to share right away.
My mom wrote extensive Christmas card procedures for my dad. Now we just wait for him to compile his part of the list (deadline is Saturday) and, from there, we will print photos and get cards ready. Check your mailboxes after December 10.
Once we get Thanksgiving out of the way, we will turn our attention to my whirlwind month of December. I have tickets for the Polar Express train ride. Countless birthday parties to attend. Cocktail parties. A luncheon and skating party at the country club. What else?
Since Trinity and Hector are enjoying Thanksgiving in the northwest, we will have a quiet Thanksgiving. My mom even suggested to my dad that he bbq his meat of choice. She presented this as something that would greatly benefit him but, really, she didn't want to make a four-course meal for just us when none of us really like Thanksgiving food anyhow. My mom is making quiche for me; earlier in the week I opened the fridge and had a bit of a tantrum since we had no leftover quiche. WHAT??? No quiche in the fridge!??? What is this world coming to?
Our menu includes roasted garlic on ciabatta, salad, quiche, mashed potatoes, cranberries, bbq chicken for my dad / bbq veggie hotdogs for me and my mom (what's more American than that?), and chocolate pecan pie for dessert. best pie ever. We started the pie already since my mom saw no point in not having some for dessert last night.
