We had a fantastic time in Walt Disney World for the Tanner Family Reunion. We were able to spend time with all of the family. It was great to be with everyone and very special to see everyone so strong and happy together.
The Thanksgiving dinner was amazing. The food was delicious and everyone was able to chat and catch up. It was definitely a gathering to be thankful for.
The other big news of the week is that Skyler accepted the offer at Chadbourne and Parke in NYC. So we will officially be living in NYC this summer and after graduation. We are really excited! The more we think about it the happier we are and the more anticipation there is, and a feeling of comfort that we made the best of the right choices.
Well, there were so many pictures to post from WDW that I posted them on our picasa account so check them out at http://picasaweb.google.com/smtanners or hit the "SMT Web Album" link in the upper right hand corner.
We hope you enjoy!

Well, it is blustery and snowing here in Ithaca. But luckily, through the love of G & G Tanner, we get to escape the bitter cold. We are going to be spending Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World with all of our extended family on the Tanner side. It is going to be a blast. I will be sure to post our adventures when we return. I never dreamed of going to Walt Disney World...Disneyland was as far as this West coast girl ever thought of.
We can't wait to be in the world of magic! Too bad I am probably too old for a princess costume! :)
Ashley, Nathan, and Easton came up to be with us this weekend. It was great to have them in our home. We were able to just enjoy spending time together. We didn't do anything terribly out of the ordinary, which was actually quite refreshing because we just wanted to be able to chat and hang out at home playing games and talking lots. Sadly, I got a bit sick while they were here, but hopefully there was no damage done. Easton is getting so big! And is still the cutest baby ever. He just smiles and smiles. I love being his aunt! He sure loved to look at Skyler.
We failed to take any pictures of us all together this last weekend, but here are a few of Easton that Ash has sent me recently. Ash, remind me next time to take some pics of us all together! :)
Easton in his puppy costume for Halloween. Cutest puppy ever!
Easton sporting a Seahawks jersey...yay for Seattle! (P.S. He is always this smiley...how wonderful!)
Mel tagged me... :)
Six things people may not know about me...
1. To get a good night sleep, I have to have a fan on, even in the winter. My mom calls it my personal serenity device. Skyler likes to sing the Eve 6 song to make fun of me "Why do you gotta keep the fan on high when its cold outside." We get a crack out of that.
2. I cook to relieve stress. The book "Eat Cake" reminds me of myself.
3. I have a coat fetish. I can't resist a classy, beautiful pea coat. I get this from my father, a man who owns 30 some-odd coats.
4. I have an obsession with homes and home decor. You wouldn't know this looking at our apartment. I grew up watching renovation projects around my home and the classic favorite, "This Old House." I have driven all around Ithaca trying to find my favorite home for when we buy a house. It is on the corner of Hanshaw and Cayuga Heights Road, for my fellow Ithacans.
5. One of my silly childhood dreams was to have a willow tree in my backyard. And we have one here, that is one reason why I don't want to leave our country-bumpkin apartment in the middle of nowhere.
6. I love fog. It is one of those silly things that allows me to enjoy Ithaca so much. The fog on our hill, across into the valley, and on the opposite hill makes for beautiful morning views and reminds me of Washington.
I tag Amy, Angella, Abby, Lindsey, Chels, and Natalia.
