Black Friday is probably my favorite holiday. I love to shop the great deals and get my bargain shoppers high. But I also love that it is the day that we set up the tree. The kids get so excited and it is so much fun. Man, Santa has his job cut out for him here with all these stockings!

Abigail was just dying to go outside, but soon discovered that she hates grass!

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun because we had a little family and a lot of friends to share it with. We loved hanging out with everyone and especially the fact that the men clean it all up. Then we put on "UP" for the kids. It was so simple & relaxing. A perfect holiday for the non-fancy us.

Abigail is starting to pull up on things so I had to put this in. Every little milestone is such a thrill for us all. We are able to play a part in organizing a local Down Syndrome support group here. It has been a good experience. Slow, but good. The next national convention is in Orlando this June so we hope to get organized before then. Crazy fun weekend for us. (Like any weekend is ever dull here!)
