Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year from the Fullers!
We are enjoying the holiday season very much. For Thanksgiving, Melanie's parents flew in for a quick trip and we had an early Turkey Dinner with Allen's parents Wednesday night. They got on a plane Thursday morning to get back to Colorado in time to celebrate the day with the rest of Melanie's family. Those of still in Tennessee got to eat plenty of good food at Allen's Aunt & Uncle's house. It was a wonderful day. Thanksgiving morning, we put up our tree while watching the Macy's Parade. Virginia Anne - who doesn't watch much TV at all - loved watching all the performers and big animal balloons. I think her favorite was Snoopy since he's in one of her favorite books.
Each night, Virginia Anne counts to three as we light our tree and the various lights outside the house. She enjoys counting down the days until Christmas on our countdown chalkboard, lighting advent candles, and putting Baby Jesus to sleep each night in his manger. Last weekend, we got to see carolers and policemen on horseback at our town Square Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony (Virginia Anne was completely captivated by both sights).
We hope you all are well and we wish you blessings during this season and in 2009!
