Gobble, Gobble

My first Thanksgiving and boy did I enjoy :) We went to New Jersey to visit my Nana. My 3 cousins joined us from DC and FL. Thanks so much Nana for a fun time. We loved seeing you and the rest of the gang.

My first taste of pizza - Jersey style.

Playing with cousin Grace.

Trying for a group photo - not too successful.
Charlie shows me all about cars.

Aunt Chris and Cousin Grace who loved the chocolate dessert - yum.

Cuddling with Aunt Lexi.


Hanging with Nana and Dad.


The take-out version on night one was just a trial run. The real deal.

Even better.


The Rockefeller tree (not yet lit) but still pretty. My first NYC trip.

Thanks again. oxox

Final Days at South Madison

It's been a while since our last post. A lot has happened for the Martin family in the past month or so. We officially said goodbye to South Madison Street. We moved which was bittersweet. We loved out cozy cottage that we lived in for 8-years, but it was time to move on. We created a lot of memories in that house but are excited to start new ones in our home now on South Saint Paul Street. We officially moved on Nov. 21st and a few days later flew to NJ for turkey day. Needless to say, it was a very busy week. Bob & Linda came to Denver to help hang with Tommy and get us "settled" in the new home. It was so nice to have them here to help move boxes, play with Tommy and Bob even helped Mike hang a fan in Tommy's room. Such worker bees. Thanks again for your help! Now we have some projects to take care of in the new house but it will be fun to make it our own. Come visit - we have lots more space - yeah!!




A chapter closed :)

New view on moving day! We can see the mountains off in the distance - quite exciting!


Trying some Cherry Creek Grill salmon - I think I like this :) Thanks for sharing, Grandpa.
Being silly with Grandpa.

I am really admiring my Grandpa.

Showing Grandpa all my favorite sights and what I'm going to miss most.

One of our favorite activities. We have found a new spot though in our new home!




The 2nd big snowstorm and it's only November.
