This week we celebrated Thanksgiving Day in the USA. Our son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandsons came in from Georgia last Sunday and just left today. Even though everyone was in different stages of being sick, including Andy, it was still a good visit. Of course, I could have done without the gift of their illness that struck me down on Thanksgiving evening after dinner.
Yep..as if falling down 2 steps onto the hardwood entryway floor on Tuesday (after climbing over the baby gate) wasn't bad enough...I finally succumbed to the crud that has been sweeping across everyone else.
But onward and upward...since there is no where else to go when you are sick...here are some pictures from their visit...
Andrew I and Andrew III
Little Alex thought it was great fun to go up and down the stairs...
...unfortunately, he's pretty clumsy and rolled down about 10 stairs (thank God they are carpeted) so we had to put a baby gate....
...where he spent much time lamenting his captivity and looking pitiful...
Both of the grandsons LOVE LOVE LOVE playing with Grandpa on the floor...
Paul and his two sons...
Wherever Grandpa is, Andrew will be close by...
Bookend Boston Terriers...their dog, Missy, on the left, and our Ginger on the right...
Our neighbors came over to join us for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and we had a good time chatting and laughing together...
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Too bad you all had the crud, but so glad you got to spend time together!
ReplyDeleteDid the neighbors make/bring the strawberry margaritas? Those were SOOOO good last September!

They were good, weren't they? :)
DeleteNo...we had wine and sparkling grape juice for Thanksgiving. I made some mulled wine that was pretty good! :)
It looks like fun was had by everyone, especially those grandsons! Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving with us!
ReplyDeleteHey, i commented and it disappeared....i wonder if i hit 'delete' or if it will appear later? I want to say how much i loved your Thanksgiving story, and how happy i am, just reading reading it -and now i can't wait to see what happens on Christmas :) I love the way the kids love their grandpa! It's the same here, grandpa is so much the star of the show that i am plotting some inspirations to have my grand kids attention for a moment or two at Christmas....ideas appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI found the best way to steal the grandkids from their grandpa is...if they are old enough...to let them help me in the kitchen. My granddaughter LOVES to help in the kitchen!
