The Day After Thanksgiving

We spent the day after Thankgiving at the new Pirate exhibit at Nauticus (tthe local naval museum). It was an incredible exhibit, and Graham lasted for the entire time! Captain Phillips (of the Maersk Alabama) was honored here to kick off the exhibit. And the lifeboat where he was held captive is on display at the end of the exhibit. Pretty amazing!




That evening, we celebrated Christmas with Zach and Robin - my brother and my sister in law - since we won't see them again until after Christmas. Kyle and I had to get the tree up in time! (Confession - our tree is a 10 foot tree that we bought to go in the foyer of our house. We decided to put it in the living room this year, and we don't have 10 foot ceilings. So, our tree is a bit "Griswald" this year. The entire top part isn't even attached!)

My amazing brother!! (We so wish he and Robin lived closer!)

The beginning of the gag gifts...which unfortunately are running a little low now that Dad is retired.

That incredible husband of mine!

Dad - chomping on the nasty candy that he loves and no one else can stand!

My lovely mom!
