Thanksgiving break

With our baby due on November 24, we decided not to make any plans during Thanksgiving break this year. However, since baby did not make his/her grand entrance last week, we had a very relaxing take-each-day-as-it-comes holiday. Richard chipped away at several odds and ends around the house and in the yard. We had fun family time and tried to soak up our last hours/days with Jane as our only child.

Thanksgiving day at Dede's

It was so warm that Jane even got to
wear her sandals, a real treat!

Thanksgiving staple number one: football

Staple number two: Black Friday advertisements

Staple number three: post-meal nap!

The day after Thanksgiving brought an unexpected cold snap, but Richard found a few ways to keep Jane warm while he worked in the yard.

On Saturday, my official due date, Baby was still tucked in, so I got to go out on a girl's night! I did not expect to be dressed up and going out at 40 weeks, so we decided to take a token belly shot to mark the occasion.

On Sunday, we cranked up the Christmas music and had a wonderful, lazy morning decorating our tree.

After such a relaxing gift of a break, I think we are officially ready to meet this baby!  (Three days past "due" as of now...)
