Three Thanksgivings

Thanksgiving Part I

We split Thanksgiving three ways this year. Our first stop: Forest's dad's house in Cerro Gordo.

This is a picture of me BEFORE the Thanksgiving feast. Our little sprout is starting to pop out.

Forest's sister Crissy with Connor, flipping through a giant Dixon book of family history. She was helping us find girl's names for our baby

Our niece Aubrey loved hanging around the sounds of the cello. Whenever I stopped playing, she would look at me inquisitively and say, "Sing!"

Sometimes she even leaned on the cello while I was playing so she could feel the vibrations

Thanksgiving Part III: Bloomington-Normal with my parents
If you ever stay with my parents, you will probably be served giant pancakes at some point. They look something like this:

Sushi we had for dinner on Saturday

We got some snow
