Giving Thanks

We had a great Thanksgiving in Northern Virginia spending time with Zane's side of the family. Here are some of the fun things we did.

We toured the Normal Rockwell exhibit at the Smithsonian's American Art Museum. Miranda took in the sights from Mommy's shoulders.


Zane and Mom before we went into the exhibit. You can see Miranda walking on the bench in the background.


Miranda fell asleep in the movie about Norman Rockwell.


Thanksgiving Day: Miranda's pajamas said, "Everyone Is Thankful For Me." It's true.


Miranda loves cats, and enjoyed playing with Zsa Zsa's, Aunt Keira's and Cousin Erica's cats. Here she is throwing a ball to Buggy, Erica's cat.


Miranda was on our shoulders a lot because we didn't bring a stroller. She didn't mind. Look how happy she is on top of Daddy's shoulders.


FSU beat Florida for the first time in six years. Why the turn around for FSU football? Their new cheerleader, of course, inspired them onto victory.


Our last day, we saw an ice sculpture exhibit of the Christmas classic, How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. It was so neat. The main scenes from the book were all recreated in ice. It was 8 degrees in the exhibit, which is why we were wearing the blue parkas. We had a blast.



You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch...


At the end of the exhibit, there was a Christmas tree made of Peeps (the marshmallow candy shaped like little animals).
