Betsy has already reported on Thanksgiving, but I'll add a few more photographs. All of these were taken with my new iPhone 4S, and while it takes good pictures, it is not like working with a real camera. So, some of these are not great. I like a little more bulk in my hands when trying to focus, aim, shoot, correct for any lighting conditions, etc.
I got to spend quite a bit of time with the youngest of my grandchildren, Penny, who was full of smiles and giggles and who loved to move about and stand.
Anders played with Henry's train set quite a lot. Here he is busy working with a new layout that his dad helped him construct.
Penny couldn't sit by herself, but the other four cousins had a private table for their Thanksgiving meal.
On Friday, we watched the lackluster Hawkeyes lose their final 2011 season football game with Nebraska. You can tell how exciting the game was by observing Pete's attention level.
On Friday evening, we all went to the Chicago Botanical Gardens to visit their Wonderland Express exhibit. Click here to read more about it and to see a video of the various electric trains and miniature scenes. What a delightful event. Here are each of my children and their respective families near the entrance to the exhibit.
And here is a small taste of what the outdoor areas of the location looked like. There were millions of lights and decorations.
