The birthday boy!

Lydia, Emmet.

The Cloud Gate in Millennium Park

Emmet sold pies for a fund raiser at school and had to figure out how to store the pies that could not be delivered on Monday evening.

Patty and Luke - the morning routine.

Play first...

...then the meal.

Planting tulips.

Fiddle.

Preparation for the Thanksgiving meal.

A salad was one of Emily & Cedric's contributions to the meal.

Not enough to sled with, but it was great to see -- the first measurable snow of the season.

Back inside, Taowee had made a list for us!

Wrapping gifts for Jonathan's second party.

Trampball is basketball on the trampoline.

Jonathan, Cedric & Emily looked at photos that Jonathan received as a birthday gift.

The Thanksgiving meal spread.  That is Janet on the left and Mike on the right.

Jonathan.  (lighting assistance from Emmet)

Taowee working on Jonathan's birthday book  60 Hikes in 60 Miles.

Luke.

Fun with bean bags (and the fisheye lens).

Cedric read moving passages aloud from The Shipping News.

Our last supper.
