Happy Thanksgiving!

This last week was a short one for me (only 2 days of work), but Mara had to work her normal shifts as usual...:(  We did make the most of the time though.
Thursday we met up with friends at our friend Kim's house for a n awesome potluck.  Rohan has such a blast playing with all of "his people".  Rohan was going strong all night, and ended up still running around our house when we got back at 11:30!  He has some epic endurance!
Friday we met up with everyone at the gym the next day for several hours of climbing.  Rohan was still exhausted from the night before and napped for almost 2hrs at the gym.  Since he's been mobile, he's never napped longer than 20min at the gym, so he was pooped!  We met up with everyone at Four Peaks to bid our friend Ed good luck.  It was his last day working at the gym. He'll still be around, so hopefully we'll still get to see him.
After we left Four Peaks we put Rohan to bed, then started our newest project, replacing our kitchen sink!  My parents gave us a gift card to Home Depot when we moved and this sink has been sitting in our front room ever since...:)  It was pretty easy to install, and the black resin sink now matched our black faucet, and black appliances...including our dishwasher which we found this week at a garage sale for super cheap...:)
Saturday we wrapped up the sink project and headed out for a long bike ride up and down the canal near our house.  We ended up hitting the Reach 11 Sports Complex where a lacrosse tourney was going on.  Rohan didn't really seem that interested until a bunch of girls in skirt uniforms practiced nearby...:)  We met Kim and Angelika at IKEA for some knick nacks before crashing when we got home...:)
Sunday we spent the day wrapping up little projects, catching up on laundry and dishes, and started putting up Xmas lights.  I havn't done Xmas lights since I was little, and even then it was mostly Dad, so it was a lot of fun to do on our own.  We didn't go nuts (like Dad did...:P), but we had a nice outline of the house and garage.  Rohan's toy room got our 4' tree and he LOVES to turn it on.
Mara took Rohan to the library for the first time today and he absolutely LOVED it.  He came home with 7 books ranging from baseball to dragons, to Chinese dragons and cookies...:)
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

I couldn't help but think of Christmas Vacation looking at your light-hanging pics. Perhaps next year instead of eating spaetzle, Rohan will be unknotting the ball of lights.
