As is tradition, the Smaglis triplets spend the weekend after Thanksgiving with me. This year they came the two days before Thanksgiving. They usually decorate my house for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, so they decided to just do it the day before. We had a lot of fun. We took the canoe out for a spin on Lake Gibbo, then trolloped all over Jacksonville searching for blowup lawn decorations, not my favorite, but they thought it would look good. They proceeded to put up my tree and decorate it.

Send me a picture from your Thanksgiving, and we will publish it on the blog. Send it to gibbonsp@duvalschools.org

We finally got them all set up!

Francie is a little annoyed at all this new stuff in her way!
