Christmas Flotilla - November 29

The day after Thanksgiving, Swansboro hosts the Christmas Flotilla.  Bill had never seen it so we made it priority.  It was really, really cold but we bundled up and had a great time.
Ed, Jane and Jennifer came.  And Melanie and Andy came with their kids too.  
Really a cute event.

Thanksgiving - November 28

We had Thanksgiving at our house.  Great fun.
I am too lazy to edit the photos so there is a lot here.
Mary was great for making the turkey.  I made the sides and folks brought their specialty.  It was really great to spend time with everyone.
Thanks to my nephew, Steven for taking a lot of shots while I was cooking.  Big thanks because I never get to be in the pictures.
