Dog park at dusk

Yesterday, Seth and I took the girls to the dog park for a late afternoon walk.

The light was pretty when we arrived.

Emma is all lit up like an angel. 

Even though it was chilly, Darcy got right in the water. 

Emma didn't want to get wet at first, 

but eventually she got in, too. 

Sunset. 

Time to go home.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving at Carol's house this year.

There was lots of food (but not for dogs!)... 

and special drinks...

for special children.

Seth and James provided us with lots of entertainment, both before... 

and during dinner. 

After dinner, we took some photos. These are the Beutels with... 

and without Carol. 

Buxtons with Riley. 

After that, we petted dogs... 

and digested. 

I'm so thankful for my best friend and my family!

Creme brulee cheesecake

James and I decided to make a creme brulee cheesecake for Thanksgiving dessert.

What could possibly go wrong? 

Darcy is worried. 

Plan of attack. 

Light 'er up! 

YUM! 

More yum. 

Everyone took a turn. 

Darcy supervised. 

Our masterpiece.
