The last day of Thanksgiving Weekend

It will be very quiet in our house again. All of the company will leave at once, then there will be silence. Some of the highlights of the weekend were the race/walk through Irvine Park. Ok, it was really just Brianna, Bridget and I trying to get through the Christmas lights in the park as quickly as possible because we were freezing! Playing Old Maid and Memory was a great time, and I really enjoyed Black Friday Shopping with Beth, Brianna and Bridget. We had some great food, some great laughs and enjoyed the weekend.

Back to that silence, it will be lonely, but we settle into our busy life and don't even notice it until the next time the company leaves.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The grandkids arrived safely last night. The turkey is stuffed and in the oven. Most of the meal is prepared, now just enjoying some fun. I think it is time to make some paper turkeys.

Have a great Holiday everyone!

As we prepare for our final day of the work week, we wait in anticipation of the kids and our grandchildren arriving safely. I am very thankful that they will attempt the drive, but I also would like them to err on the side of caution. Though we desperately want them to visit, the thought of trouble on the roads is hard to put aside.

As the day goes on I will think of ways to entertain and interact with the grandchildren I don't see enough. I am thinking of Christmas Card making and hiking to the park (it's less than 1/2 a block), a trip to Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls for the stroll through the Christmas lights and I think we can find some time for hot chocolate and marshmallows!

I love the Thanksgiving Holiday and I am looking forward to sharing it with 4 of our grandchildren,

Naomi, Tavian, Kierra and Kianna!

Its Thanksgiving week! I do love Thanksgiving, I think many women especially appreciate this holiday. No stress to buy gifts, we can make it as big or as small as we want. I have such great memories of my childhood going to Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving. All of the cousins that lived close were there. It certainly meant a day of great food, some games and lots of talking. Sometimes everyone was talking at once. Usually everyone was talking at once.
This Thanksgiving if the weather holds we will have 4 of our 8 grandchildren making their way over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house. The kids will be here 4 nights and I need a plan for some fun activities to keep them busy, keep them out of trouble and most of all to create some memories for them. The pressure is on, just 3 days to prepare. I know we will be drawing our hands and making turkeys out of them. I am will be coming up with some outdoor activities in the next days. Gobble Gobble.
