Jay is, that is. Off work. On vacation for a week. It's November 21st and he doesn't go back to work until Monday the 30th. Hooray! This year it's really good timing for his vacation; work has been crazy for a few weeks now and he's in need of a break.
It's been five or six years since we started the tradition of Jay taking the week of Thanksgiving off and we love it. We get alot done during this week - holiday pictures for the kids, holiday decorating, baking and making caramel popcorn are all on the agenda for the week.
We're hosting Thanksgiving for a small contingent of the Wright family this year and we're excited. Jay spent part of the day making a shopping list and looking up recipes and planning our part of the menu. I need to go shopping with him, though - Jay can be a bit of an impulse buyer when it comes to food; if he goes alone, who knows what he'll buy!
Things should be pretty relaxed around our house for the next little while. It's about time.

a great Thanksgiving. I will
call on Thanksgiving day. For
the next few days use my cell
phone and we will be in Mississippi
and Arkansas.
