Thanksgiving Is Over, Bring On Christmas.

For those who didn't know, my parents were in town over the Thanksgiving Holiday. They got here Tuesday evening and stayed until today.

While they were here they painted and decorated Rowen's bedroom. His room is now painted a light gray and he has two large framed superhero posters, Batman and Spiderman, hanging on the wall. We also hung a small rack on the wall and then hung his various "super suits" on it. No longer will we hear "where's my super suit?" It is the perfect room for the superhero in training.

My mom also helped me reorganize the kitchen. She painted some of the shelves and helped me go through cabinets to decide what should stay and what should go. It looks a lot better and is much better organized.

On Friday evening we put up our Christmas Tree. Christa and I had purchased a new tree last year so it was a little bitter-sweet putting it up without her. The kids had a good time decorating the tree and putting some of the other decorations out.

Thanks mom and dad for all your help this past week. Your probably going to need a vacation to recover from your holiday visit.

Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty

Happy Thanksgiving! My family from NC was here. We worked on getting the house ready and then turned the kitchen over to them, as they wanted to cook Thanksgiving dinner.
I will have to come and see Rowen's room. Did you install the bat signal?

Hi Marty-- The Christmas tree looks great and the kids look pretty healthy. I would love to go to mid-night mass and also want to help with your nonprofit organization when we come to see you.

The Historical Society is having their annual home tour on Sunday so we've been busy getting all that set up and ads in the paper. I've gotten Eilish some things for her birthday that I'll be sending off soon (and there will be some stuff for Elora and Rowen). We went to the Disney store last weekend.

Keep up the good work all you in the Matthews' family including Sedi and Tiger. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
