Thanksgiving 2008

We spent Thanksgiving weekend up in Connecticut with Grandma, Poppa, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Dan, Aunt Carmen, and Fiona's newest relative (just born in August): Simon!

It would be an understatement of historic proportions to say that Fiona was looking forward to this visit. As soon as we got off the highway on Wednesday, Fiona started excitedly chanting "Simon Simon Simon Simon Simon Simon...!" and nearly every time Simon was awake during the next three days, Fiona could be found at his side showing him some of her old baby toys, singing to him, or just excitedly repeating his name. This is the first relative she's gotten to know who's younger than her, and what a hit it was. Here, take a look:

Or, for a less musical look at how Fiona entertained her cousin:

I'll note that I cut that video off after 20 seconds. Reality went on for several times that length, pretty much without variation.

We also got a chance to explore the city a little, including returning to Fatty's for brunch on Saturday and checking out Aunt Kathy's new place. A full photo album can be found here.
