A totally Falterian holiday

Yep, Cecilia made it for Thanksgiving, snatched from the jaws of another holiday with Uncle Warren and Grammie Brooks in Colebrook, N.H. This was her year to surround herself with her Falter family, a mellow bunch indeed. It's as close as you'll get to no drama and whatever.

So here's Mitch with his two wee ones, with baby Thomas being the most recent cause for gratitude and also being Mr. Popularity all day, eager faces watching him sleep and waiting for the first sign of his stirring.















Beth was chauffeur-in-chief, auntie extraordinaire, extreme sports champion in stuffing the stuffing, and kitchen elf. Dave did an ace job of chilling out and hanging with the Falters.





Laurie found a master turkey carver in Zach, and she and Mitch worked the kitchen to make it all look easy.


There were no Bumpass hound incidents, no gravy dumped on anyone's lap, no quarrels, no complaints. Just a warm and fuzzy family holiday and some Kodak moments, like this one of big sister Cecilia snuggling her new baby brother.
