We planned on having Mike's dad, brother Jason, and his wife Joanna at our place for Thanksgiving this year. Unfortunately, a bad stomach virus arrived in Casper and took out nearly everyone in town for a few days. It hit us the weekend before Thanksgiving. We had a similar illness last Christmas when Jason and Joanna came to see us in Tennessee, and we really didn't want a repeat of what happened then, with everyone being so sick and miserable. So, we decided we had to cancel our Thanksgiving and just spend the holiday on our own. Our friends, the Tituses, who have generously adopted our lonely little family, invited us over to their house on Thanksgiving day since we had all survived the stomach bug and decided we were all immune. I wish we had more pictures of the Titus family, but here are a few pics of the lovely evening, plus some of Alayna's school Thanksgiving party. 
Tulip Titus, or as Alayna calls her, Grandma Tulip, has us over for lunch at her house every Thursday. Her granddaughters, Ava and Maya, are Alayna and Cecily's best friends, and they love to play together. We have all been enjoying getting to know each other. Tulip has been so kind to adopt us and is such a beautiful and spiritual person, so we asked her to be Cecily's godmother. We had Cecily baptized on December 4th. We hoped to have her godfather, her Uncle Jason, present, but since we had to cancel their visit, we were luck to have Grandpa Terry stand in as proxy.
