Find yourself someone who makes you the most amazing Thanksgiving pies – our request has been a chocolate mousse pie with pretzel crust two years in a row. The creator of the pies? Her name is Sarah.  But I am going to start with her sweet son, Conrad, who picked out this shirt himself. He called it his ‘park’ shirt and he was extraordinarily happy to show it off. I, too, had been dying to see his park shirt – ever since Sarah told me about it months ago. Right next to Conrad, is his little sister Anna. This was the first time I had seen her pigtails and they were just as delightful as I had anticipated.

Didn’t get a lot of chit chat out of these two – they are on the shy side – but there were lots of M&Ms for all. And I am always so eager to see how much kids grow year to year and I cannot wait to see Conrad’s outfit choice for next year!
