Whatta weekend!

Photobucket

Thanksgiving weekend was full and rich and great fun here at the Mays house. We had 17 for turkey dinner on Thursday and Dave and Eloise Keeler were able to join us! Can't wait until they're here in Maryland permanently.

Martin also joined us and kept everyone entertained. :)

Dan and Garrett caught in a post-turkey slumber.

The day after Thanksgiving we always get our Christmas tree. We picked out a gorgeous 10 foot beauty from, of course, Good Earth Market.

And as a reward for everyone's hard work - Alaskan King crab legs!

Saturday Christoph and Evelyn worked on her Medieval Castle model for most of the day. It's amazing!

While they built the castle, I was having great fun decorating wreaths and listening to Christmas music at work. How cool is it that I get to do what I love to do and get paid for it?! All while wearing bluejeans and a sweatshirt!

(Woot!)

Sunday we continued our 12 year tradition and went to Cracker Barrel for lunch with the Hartnett's. We look forward to this time together all yearlong.

Old Town Alexandria with the Girls

Photobucket

I went to Old Town Alexandria with Elise, Ange, and Casey today on this picture perfect fall Saturday. We had a great time walking up and down King Street and making fun memories at the Farmer's Market, Paper Source, super cool home stores, Bittersweet, antique stores, Christmas Alley, Sugar Cube, the waterfront, the Visitors Center - twice - or was it three times? And sometime ask Ange about the Buddhist monks in bright orange at the GAP.
