Destination Thanksgiving



This year on Thanksgiving, a fine new tradition was started-- the first ever Phillips "destination" Thanksgiving in western NY. There was good food, laughter, and room to run around.  The sun even came out for the occasion. Who could ask for anything more?


Zoe Mae had a blast with her cousins.  She was even willing to let them each have an itty bitty piece of Papa's lap.


In return for her generosity, the cousins did their best to teach her the wise ways of the world.  For instance, playdough is in fact for playing, not for eating- even when it comes directly from the kitchen of Grandma Phillips.


The cousins also showed her how Grandma loves to have help with blowing out her birthday candles.  But you better not hesitate, cause a certain curly towhead is quick on the draw...



All in all, a great Thanksgiving/birthday celebration was had.  A great start to the holiday season indeed. Stay tuned for Christmas!!
