We stayed local this Thanksgiving and Koko braved the traffic and came down from L.A. to hang out with us. It was a day to enjoy and be thankful for so many things we love so dearly: an early morning turkey trot to benefit Father Joe's Villages, lots of cooking with the kids, making fairy traps, eating and laughing with Chris, D, and Bob Bruno, tackling near-impossible puzzles with way too many similarly-colored animals and a bajillion pieces, riding the carousel, and walking around at Balboa Park with a warm drink in hand and enjoying the Christmas lights and koi pond. No complaints here!

Lots of delicious food:
Crazy animal puzzle, which Mama will proudly say she did mostly by herself in only a day!
And done!
