My Thanksgiving

Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone! We did the usual two house Thanksgiving day tour, Tom was a little ill at the end of it all. Every years he says he needs to pace himself better and every year he overeats. Oops! :)

Tom's parents live on a street lined in beautiful ginkgo trees. At Thanksgiving they are always shedding their bright yellow leaves and it makes a perfect fall scene (well, as perfect as fall in California can get). I wanted to take some pictures of Patrick int he leaves but there weren't many on the ground. Somehow I convinced Tom to climb up into the tree to shake some leaves down (amazingly, he remembered exactly how to get up into the tree, he climbed it a lot as a kid). That didn't work so well but I did get some cute pictures of him holding the kids in the trees.
