"It's Christmastime in the city..."

Before our out-of-town guests headed back to their homes, we spent one evening strolling around downtown Boston, taking in the lights and the sights in our beautiful city.

The juxtaposition of old and new

The gleaming dome of the State House

Thanksgiving Festivities

Although Christmas will soon be upon us, I wanted to look back on the special Thanksgiving visit we had with both sets of grandparents and my brother and his new wife.  They all made the trip to Boston to spend the holiday with us.  We shared a lovely meal, laughed until we cried playing games, and enjoyed being together.  This Thanksgiving holiday reminded me to be grateful for two healthy, beautiful girls, a comfortable home, the exciting city in which we live, and the love of family.
