we celebrated thanksgiving at lake gaston at “happy place” with mom & dad, brooke, papa jack, papa joe & nanny ruth, and mom’s co-worker/friend nikki and her family, hubby steve, son hayden, and sweet baby emma. we had a great time relaxing, boating, fishing, cooking, and brooke & i made a total of 7 pair of pajama pants for her friends and each of us – but you’ll have to check out my craft blog for pics of all that later. on sunday afternoon everyone left, except for me : ) — that was the last piece of my 30th birthday cake: two days of solitude at the lake… just me and my sewing machine – pure bliss!!!!!!
