Christmas 2007

It was our turn to host Christmas festivities, so Oscar had lots of fun. He had a staring contest with Dad:

And he got dressed up in ribbons:

And he got to play in wrapping paper and string!

We had Jason's parents over for dinner the day after Christmas, with us, my parents, and my sister. This is what the table looked like before we started eating...

And we also went over to Ohio to visit with my grandma in her nursing home. She was really glad to see us all. She really likes Jason.

It was indeed a Merry Messiah-mas!

This one's for Deb aka Thanksgiving 2007

Well, last night Debra called me out for not updating the Blog in a very long time, so Deb, this one's for you!

After Thanksgiving at Jason's aunt and uncle's place, we drove the rest of the way up into Michigan and went to the Henry Ford Museum. We had 5 hrs, but it wasn't nearly enough time.

There are quotes on the walls throughout, and this one was my favorite:

We saw the chair that Lincoln was assassinated in, and the bus that made Rosa Parks famous:

Then we went over to Greenfield Village where we chatted with the lady in the weaving house, checked out the pottery in the pottery house, saw them making blown-glass snowmen, saw Edison's workshop, and the Wright's house and bicycle shop.

When we were kicked out (because they were closing, not because we misbehaved), we drove on over to Jason's aunt and uncle who were celebrating their 25th anniversary. We always have a good time visiting with them.

But we were glad to come home and hug our kitty:
