Happy Halloween or Thanksgiving or Christmas?

Since the Arvy grandparents are world travelers as of late, they are ditching us for Thanksgiving. However, not wanting to get out of the cooking (that's a good one, huh Renae!), they invited the family up for Thanksgiving dinner on Friday. Now, we also have a traditional Halloween party where costumes are encouraged. So, as we came up to the door, here are the Pilgrims: Jim & Renae welcoming us to their abode. They looked great!

We had a DELICIOUS Thanksgiving meal and were STUFFED like turkeys! After things were cleaned up and put away, Grandma brought out the chimes and we all played Christmas music! (We think the grandparents were just covering all the bases for when they are gone.) The chimes were a BIG hit and the songs sounded lovely when everyone was playing correctly. (There was a lot of improvisation!) Our night ended with all of us telling what we are grateful for and then Grandma gave us all a Halloween treat bag! Not a bad idea to celebrate all the holidays in one evening! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa, we had a great time!
