I’m not feeling my photography mojo lately. Not sure why. Maybe it’s just this gray time of year setting in. Anyway – I only have a few photos from our long Thanksgiving holiday in Michigan. 

Here’s Brian doing some cooking: 

I love how butternut squash start to ooze and bubble squash juice after you cut them:

Bea has fallen for Mom and Dad’s puppy – Skipper. She would slip under the table during a meal and tenderly stroke him. Here’s a portrait of Skipper: 

Grandma Dice had Thanksgiving with us (and Lana’s clan). She made her delicious rolls and also a pan of mini rolls for our girls. I can’t think of many things more beautiful than the sight of Grandma’s rolls nestled in their cast iron pans. 

We, spur of the moment, decided to decorate Mom’s Christmas tree. The tree ended up a bit ornament heavy at about three feet off the ground. It was good fun. I love that my Mom is up for having her grandkids spontaneously dig through all her Christmas boxes. It’s all precious, but not too precious for her dear little girls to dive into.

I find myself humming “Lord help the mister – who comes between me and my sister…” this week because Jennifer invited us to see White Christmas at the old Temple Theater in Saginaw. It was all kinds of fun and we’re all in the holiday mood now.
