attempts at favorite aunt status. thanksgiving cookie edition.
in a desperate bid to win the designation as holden’s favorite aunt, i packed an arsenal of cookie decorating supplies for our trip to batavia for thanksgiving. my mom babysits him every monday, so i hyped him up for a full day of baking and decorating and he was all in. my diabolical plan for […]
giving thanks in batavia.not so much in buffalo.
when we put the older two kids in school, we knew it would mean that we would have to give up our vacation scheduling freedom, and that we would have to work around the school schedule. fortunately, for some reason, they had off the entire week of thanksgiving, so we didn’t have to cram in […]

lidbom thanksgiving and swedish christmas
i’m combining these two events into one post, because i am sooooo sooooo far behind in my blogging. firstly. we celebrated thanksgiving with derek’s uncle’s family. in the south, folks like to eat thanksgiving “dinner” at noon or earlier. i don’t get it and i never will. but, noon it was. since we were all […]
