Christmas at Thanksgiving

We traveled to Southern Illinois for a relaxing, long Thanksgiving weekend.  The girls enjoyed time with their Grandma Janis and Grandpa.  Rodger devoted a lot of his time to installing a collective Christmas gift for them - a new digital sound system for the house.  Valerie opted to go for a run, and logged 7.5 miles... longest run ever!

Sophie and Abby were spoiled by their Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents as we celebrated Christmas at Thanksgiving.  They both received American Girl dolls and many accessories, including matching pajamas.  The girls spent their weekend playing with their new dolls, Kit and Molly as well as many other toys they had received.

It was a weekend packed with events; the Gueberts had the pleasure of meeting Kay's boyfriend for the first time.  In addition, lots of conversation was devoted to Loran and her wedding.  Rodger took all of his girls to an old-fashioned Christmas parade in St. Charles, MO.  On Sunday, we hosted a bridal shower for Loran.  Grandma made lots of wonderful home-cooked meals, and enjoyed showing the girls how to talk to "Mr. Christmas".  We left Watson on the farm for a few months due to all of our holiday travels.  All in all, it was a great holiday weekend.
