Brotherly Love and a Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving visit with Gramma Lynn and Papa Roger! We have a lot to be thankful for, including our families who make the effort to stay in touch and visit when they can! We were busy: Micah recovered from his throat infection, Jacob caught a virus, recovered and broke a tooth all in one weekend, and we ate lots of good food! Even Micah enjoyed the turkey--for a boy with a list of 10 things he will eat, that is quite a breakthrough! I dressed the boys in their matching shirts from Grammy Marcia and took pictures :-) Dan and I even got to go on a date--out to eat at a Churrascaria, a kind of Brazilian steakhouse where they bring lots of different kinds of meats around on spits and cut you pieces off until you tell them to stop. Dan says it's a man's dream buffet! The food was great and we were one of two couples in there so we got great service too. It was just nice to eat a meal without having to feed someone else, wipe any faces/hands other than our own or field questions like "How many more bites do I have to eat before I can get down?"
