Happy Thanksgiving


The current favorite toy to play when at our house
Happy Thanksgiving, dear blog followers! Thank you for visiting my blog and reading my posts. I especially appreciate those of you who leave me a comment and who answer my questions! Thank you too to my quilting buddies who offer up advice when I bring my what if questions to you. Your feedback is invaluable!

Thanks to Miss B who loves us all--especially the
youngest grand!
Happy Thanksgiving to the "important" members of my family. Thank you dear husband for all your support this past year as I navigated through following my dad's last wishes. You always have my back! Thank you dear daughters for reminding me that there is a bigger picture and to not lose sight of it.

Thank you to the granddaughters who are so much like their mama and their auntie that hanging out with them is like stepping back in time and reliving the days of our parenthood. The grands keep us on our toes as well as make our lives a little brighter.

This week, Miss K didn't have school so I got to spend some time with her. She and her sister, Miss J were here Monday, Tuesday night and Wednesday! We had a sleepover. Miss K chose pancakes for breakfast and lunch at McDonald's where there is a play structure. We played with dolls. They, with their papa,  built a working carousel.

A past family dinner with all the "important" ones!
J's favorite parts of the week were playing dolls and going to McDonald's. K's favorite parts of the week were telling stories in the dark during the sleepover and going to McDonald's. Being a grand is sure fun and we are fortunate that our grands live near us and we get to have semi regular play dates.

Tomorrow is J's actual fourth birthday and there is a family party. Later today, I'll be baking the carrot cake that she asked to have at the party. It will have nuts, raisins and frosting. . .just like she asked. Life is good!
