Thanksgiving

Last week Peri, Tom, Kelsee and McKenzie graced us with their presence for Thanksgiving, and we are sure glad they did. It was really nice to have a little taste of home. We had Thanksgiving at Janet & Dyion's house and there were about 25 people there (Janet's sister & family and Dyion's children & families), so it was really important for Heather (me too) to have her sister here. Thanks Peri. But the absolute best part was that the temperature was in the 70's and for the first time, I (we) got to have Thanksgiving dinner outside.

While they were here, we did some of the typical tourist things (like going to Southport). In Southport, there is a Christmas Store (of course called "The Christmas Store"). As we were heading into the store, we saw this Santa and his elf. Now we know why Santa is always so jolly. (Of course the elf wasn't turned this way originally, but Tom made me do it. He is such a bad influence on me).

(Sorry Mom)

By the way, I have a new blog. Its called "The Weekly Rant." It's a place for me to vent all of my many frustrations. Check it out. simonsweeklyrant.blogspot.com
