dad, look at this!

My dad and Lisa visited us for Thanksgiving this year!  There was much conversation, food, and laughter.  

This was the first time my dad visited me at one of my homes.  Seriously!  He's always been such a homebody.  I felt like I was eight years old again showing him my home, stomping grounds, and neighborhood.  There was a lot of dad, look at this! going on.  Thankfully he demonstrated just as much interest and patience as he did when I was eight and showing off some impressive kid thing I accomplished (beanie baby theater most likely).  

We also decorated sugar cookies and put up the tree.  It was a wonderful visit.

Nobody wanted them to leave.  Including Ella!
