Thanksgiving Week

Last year we were thankful to have spent Thanksgiving in Ohio with Mike's family which was great!  This year we were blessed again to have them come to us, here in Massachusetts.  My amazing mother in law and her fiance came to spend the holiday with us.  We loved having them here even though the time went by way too fast.  It was nice having family with us again.  We had fun preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, playing games, and just spending quality time together.  Thank you for all you do for us and Baby Mavrakis.  We appreciate it more than you know.  We love you and see you soon...when there will be 3 of us!

The Day After...

The boys did some heavy lifting and brought up some of Baby Mavrakis' nursery furniture.  We had dinner that night at Bonefish Grill...yum! Then we came home and put up some Christmas decorations.  It was our last night and we had a wonderful 4 days together.

Saturday I decided to put together the stroller that my sister Nancy bought for Baby Mavrakis!  We LOVE it!  So simple yet so versatile! Thank you!
