This year, we celebrated Thanksgiving at the Plimpton-Harris house with four other families.  We started the afternoon with an awesome game of touch football, ate amazing food, played telestrations, and generally had a great evening.

The day after Thanksgiving, we headed down to CT to see the grandparents and hit my 25th High School Reunion.  Nana and Grandpa served us up some great leftovers at their house.


Bumpa and Grandma made us a great salmon dinner and then babysat the kids so John and I could go to my reunion.


I was hesitant about going to my reunion.  I see the friends that I want to see when I'm visiting my parents and wondered if it would really be all that much fun.  It absolutely was.  John was an incredible date.  He made more friends (which Cally says he already has a thousand), but we both had a great time connecting with my old friends.
