Black Friday ashes

Our 5 1/2 days off were fun-filled, starting with the GPIC Thanksgiving service, having our fill of food and wonderful friends on Thanksgiving, seeing some cousins and old friends on Friday, seeing The Nutcracker with Rachel on Saturday, losing two teeth (Beatrice, that is) and riding on the SJS float for the Holiday Dazzle parade on Sunday.  Whew!  I'm ready for another vacation.  Guess I'll have to wait just a few short weeks for that....






The official program/candle giver outer at the interfaith service:

The chocolate peanut butter Rice Krispy treats were a big hit!

tooth #6 came out in the car on the way home from aikido Wednesday night.  Her first non-shark tooth, and first didn't have someone else pull it tooth!


(and to explain the title of this post, moments before this tooth came out, we were on the highway listening to the radio, which was having commercials at the moment about sales coming up on Friday.  Beatrice asks from the back seat " Mama, is Black Friday when we get ashes on our head in the shape of a cross?") What a classic Family Circus moment.... 



On Saturday, we met Rachel and Martha at a Vietnamese restaurant in Worcester for a pre-show lunch.  The girls didn't miss a beat and just had a great time together...




Tooth #7 has been dangling at the bottom for weeks, but finally she pulled it out Sunday morning upon awakening:

Every year when the parade is done, Beatrice says "next year I want to watch the parade, not be in it" but when the information comes home in November she always changes her mind.  Such a fun event!



and Samm coming over early for a play-date made it more awesome!
