Happy Thanksgiving

I can't believe it's only 2 days until Thanksgiving. This will be the first Thanksgiving I will spend with Kelly since 1993. Her dad always had Thanksgiving as his holiday. It will be really weird, but nice to be with her. We are going to Glenn's parents house for dinner and dessert. Glenn's brother Paul and his family are coming to town tomorrow. I have not seen them in years and I'm quite excited to see Sherry, my sister in law.

Today, we went to Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Oakland. The highlight tour included the Polar region, ancient Egypt and Wildlife of North America. Our doucet (tour guide) was old, very slow and disorganized so we did not get a good tour. After our tour we went downstairs to see the dinosaur exhibit.
Cameron and Glenn really enjoyed it.

While upstairs at the wildlife exhibits, Kelly discovered that she matched the zebras.
All in all it was a great day despite the freezing cold and snow. We had to walk about 3 blocks to get from the garage to the museum and then past the museum and around back to meet our group. Kel did not bring a jacket...it interfered with the "cute factor." I was wearing Glenn's two part jacket so I gave her the outer part and kept the inner fleece.
As you can see I gained back a good deal of the weight I lost last year. :< I plan to really diet this year. I also cut my hair off on Thursday. It feels so much better. When I wear my glasses, the kids say I look like my mom.

Tomorrow I'll be making pies and getting ready for Thanksgiving. We have to drive to Cranberry tomorrow night to meet Glenn's brother and sister to get the kids pics taken for Linda.

I'm off to call Kel's friend, Sean's, mom to see if she can go over tomorrow night. Have a Happy Thanksgiving to all.
