Thanksgiving

We traveled up north to our oldest daughters for Thanksgiving dinner. She lives about an hour and a half from our home.

Tricas house

I made a pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread….some of which was gluten free. Jen made her famous dinner rolls and a gluten free apple pie.  Trica handled the rest..turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans, corn and a relish tray …oh and a berry pie and also a banana creme pie.

The grands

The Grands were all there at the same time for a few minutes.  Savannah had to go to work. This is their birth order and shortest to tallest photo.  It was good to have them all in the same place even for a little bit.  I got to hug them all.

Hey Mikey!

Of couse Mikey was there.  He is a happy little fella…especially after I made his Mama find his socks and add an undershirt to his attire.  He is finding his voice.  He also smiles with his eyes.  He will soon be 6 months old.  He can sit by himself for short peroids of time…he still has what I call a “round butt” …rolling off to the left or the right just like a ball.

His Mama was just outside of camera range ready to catch him if he fell over.

We had a nice get together and visit, we came home and had a nap.

So nice you saw all the grands at the same time. With young people being so busy with their lives it is hard to keep up with them.

Great feast you had. I remember the "round butt" stage. I used to put pillows around whoever was the baby.
I'm glad you suggested Mikey have socks and an undershirt on!!

When I walk in my son or daughter's house, somebody will holler, "Grandma's here, better put socks on the baby!" It's a pet peeve.

Sounds like a wonderful, traditional family Thanksgiving celebration.

The day sounds perfect! Well except perhaps, the drive.

Our Teddy doesn't stay on a lap very well. He is one and a half now so he runs everywhere and bangs his head into everything. He looks like a warrior from battle with his activity. Mikey is a sweetie.
