Thanksgiving in Nevada

On Thanksgiving Day we drove to Fallon, Nevada. It is a town about an hour east of Reno and it is where our friend Brett grew up. We had a lovely afternoon with good food an great company. Brett's parents hosted dinner and their house was well prepared for Bridget, because they have a grandson who is about 6 months older than her.

Their house sits on a lot of land and there were horses and mules milling about. Bridget stayed very close to me when we went to see them, but I think she liked seeing the animals. (And yes, I did dye my hair red. You like?)


We had a great dinner with all the traditional Thanksgiving fare. Instead of place cards, Brett's mom made gingerbread cookies and wrote each persons name in icing. Needless to say, Bridget LOVED hers.


She spent quite a bit of time on the phone while we were at the McGinness house. She called all her relatives, and she also did some chatting with her favorite singer (Britney).


She also loved riding around the house on Aiden's tricycle. She got the concept of pedaling and only tipped over a few times.


All of these photos were taken by Sara McGinness. Thank you Sara! I'd like to use the excuse that our camera battery was dead (which IS true), but I still would never have been able to take as great of pictures as she does.
