Happy Thanksgiving!

It has been a great week here at the Scott house, having Drew home all week on fall break! With his trip to China taking up 6 weeks last summer, it just felt like he had been gone forever. You can see a full size version of the pic if you click on it.

Here's the crew getting ready for the Thanksgiving feast! And then there is TJ, who does like a little pumpkin pie with his whipped cream!

Next weekend I'm headed to Carthage College for Drew's choir Christmas Festival and to get the holiday shopping started. It's always a fun trip and great to have that one-on-one time with him, where I don't have to share him with Abby! haha

Happy Thanksgiving!

Basketball Time!

Lots of basketball being played around here this time of year! TJ is on the 7th grade team and practicing 6 days a week (12 hours a week!) and now Abby has started a 6 week skills clinic. She has spent so much time in the bleachers watching TJ's games that she definitely thinks it is HER turn to play!

Drew is home for Thanksgiving week and it is so great to have everyone under the same roof! We'll be spending the holiday at home and I'm cooking the full meal, pretty much as I've done for most all of the past 28 years. Mitch's family doesn't have a get together and my family is pretty non-existent ... so we don't really have family to spend the time with, and it's up to me to get the meal together and be sure my kids have traditions to remember it by. Even though it's a lot of work, it's definitely a holiday time of good memories!!
