Happy Thanksgiving


The Skinner family in Washington hopes you've all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have soooooo much to be thankful for this season, most of all that we are together.

We've had a nice quiet Thanksgiving, capped off by a nice glass of wine and a warm fire in the fireplace while the kids play nicely upstairs. Hard to get any better...

We've been busy as ever, with Leah having a bit of a recital, of sorts, at school. I've posted just one song, which Ian loves to hear before he goes to sleep. 


Here is a photo of Leah taken at the school shortly after the recital. She was so glad that I had the day off and could come see her at school - but then again so was I.


The big surprise here was a last minute opening to see a dress rehearsal of the Nutcracker in Seattle. It was my first foray into the ballet, and of course Leah was beside herself. She would have much rather been dancing than watching, but all in all both Ian and Leah had a great time. We may have to look into other shows playing there, turns out culture is pretty nice!


After the show Ian and Leah wanted their picture taken in the lobby with the Nutcracker guy. Glad we brought our cameras!


Happy Thanksgiving, hopefully you've all had a great one!
