But one thing keeps me smiling.
Bryan and I are in our tenth year of marriage. In other words, we celebrated nine years in August. But this was our 11th Thanksgiving together. Not only that, but we were blessed to spend it with our Aunt Claire again -- we aren't able to do that every year, but it worked out this year. Incidentally, we also spent Thanksgiving with Aunt Claire ten years ago. So we had our photo taken on the exact same couch...though it was moved to a different spot in the living room.

2011 version of Bryan and Kimberly:
You can see how we've been "updated." Less hair (for both of us)...more to love. ;) I remember warning him before we were married that I knew his love for me would grow over the years, because I would grow!! Ha! (It's the second baby, I tell ya.)
We look a little more comfortable together in 2011 than we did in 2001. Ten years ago, we had barely gotten back together after an awkward break-up (my fault...and another story). We were just a few short weeks away from being engaged! Ah, memories.
Here's another reason the 2011 Thanksgiving was so different from the 2001 version:
These guys. They weren't there ten years ago. Well, of course Aunt Claire was there! But Ben and Sam were not there...they were still only the sparkles in our eyes! They are a rather fun addition to the festivities. We think we'll keep them.
My parents were just here for five days - arrived the day after Thanksgiving and just left on Wednesday. I'll post some pics of that soon -- we had a great time. The boys love their "Papa" and "Gabby."
Happy weekend! I hope you have more success in putting your Christmas trees up than we've had...since we are apparently unable to accomplish this feat in our house. For now.
