Fiona Gives Thanks


Fiona's first "conscious" Thanksgiving was an unqualified hit. We spent it in Foster City with her West Coast Grandmommy and Granddaddy, Uncle Wesley and Auntie Kristin, and her great-aunt, great-uncle, and (great? second? once-removed?) cousins. And, of course, a turkey that weighed more than Fiona (who, at 19.5 lbs, is no wimp)!

Fiona liked the turkey. She liked it a lot.

She ate quite a bit over the course of the weekend, as did we all.

With Thanksgiving behind us, it was now time to look ahead to Christmas. Thus, on Saturday morning we all piled into the car and headed out to Half Moon Bay, home to many "cut-your-own" Christmas tree farms. We settled on Lemu's Farm, mostly because, in addition to Christmas trees, it had animals...

and a train ride...
Although we didn't actually leave with a tree this time, Fiona was clearly attracted to the Charlie Brown variety.

Then it was time to say goodbye to Uncle Wes and Auntie Kristin, Fiona's favorite (and not just because they're the only) aunt and uncle. It was great to see you both!!
