Happy Thanksgiving





Hello! Sorry for the missing blogs. Erin made it to jolly ole on thursday and we have been busy little bees ever since. The pic above is of Erin basically emptying her luggage of GIFTS for the girls... Maeve got this great ukelele.. Madigan got a drum.. clothes aplenty, Dora movies... poor Erin has nothing to wear, all luggage space was dedicated to bringing gifts to england! We'll ahve to help her fill it back up with ridiculous shoes!
Friday we wandered around royal leamington spa. Saturday we went on a 10 mile bimble with our fearless leader Fil (Phil) and our travelling companion Mr Neil Bruder. Fun was had...a gorgeous church was spotted. We walked all along the canal by our house.. walked along the oldest straightest roman road in England and stopped off so the girls could play in the park!
Today we headed into town to celebrate thanksgiving with all the Canadians from Codemasters. It was great.. we were in a room full of people and *we* didn't have accents! There was a couple from Colorado, a couple from California a couple from Scotland but the rest of the huge band of merry drunkards were canadian! Turkey, potatoes, cheese, beer and all the trimmings! Maeve made a new friend named Brandon or "lord vader" as I call him. It was his 4th birthday and he had a light sabre. Very cool, Maeve informed us that she wanted a pink one with Dora on it! She is certainly an origional that girl! I told her the second I see one I will buy it for her! Every one loved the girls and wanted to hold or play with them. The festivities were at codemaster's lodge which is this huge mansion...gorgeous but poorly renovated! fireplaces in EVERy room even the bathroom! it was great... really fun time.. we came home put the sleeping girls to bed and we are all off to bed too..

Happy thanks giving to my family who are all celebrating together at my mom's house. I miss you all so very much and I really wish I was there with you. I hope you try to get together like that once a month and I'll phone wherever the gathering is and get a chance to talk to all of you. I love you all very much!
