Lisa had 3 tables set up for Thanksgiving dinner. It was an absolutely beautiful day in the valley and we ate outside. Before dinner, the younger ones (and the young at heart) played some volley ball while the football game held the attention on some of the others. After the all the food was layed out-with one full table of desserts, the brave ones worked off the calories with a little Wii dance competition while the rest of us watched. 
Thanks to my wonderful sister, Marla, the binding is on and this years Christmas quilt is on the sofa. I just walked through the front room and saw Shawn bundled under a quilt on one end of the sofa and Nikki bundled in a quilt on the other end, watching a Harry Potter movie. I should have taken a picture! I love to see my quilts being used.
Well, Thanksgiving is over and the carcass (turkey) is out of the house and I didn't do any shopping! I did get 9 pints of cranberry relish put up, finished my Thanksgiving embroidery (but not framed or displayed) and completed the backs for 2 Christmas gift quilts and they are now headed for the quilter. How's that for summarizing a 4-day weekend!

I'm very grateful that Marla is willing to take that on for me. I have 5 quilts waiting for the binding now so get ready, Marla.
I am still working on a Christmas tree skirt and hope to finish that before the tree comes down the day after Christmas.
