Thankful for Great Friends and Family

The Thanksgiving weekend started with a splash! Friday was raining and cold but that didn't keep us inside. A fuzzy wetsuit and a pair of rubber boots was all we needed for some fun.
We had ballet Saturday morning and then an afternoon visit and stay for supper from Granny and Grandpa. Sid was so excited when she found out they were coming. We haven't seen each other since July so Sid was literally bouncing off the walls and Grandpa! And big kudos to Grandpa for withstanding the worlds wettest zerbert fight. You couldn't even see the lenses in his glasses by the time he and Sid were finished giggling.

It was such a wonderful visit, so relaxed and fun. Thanks for coming over for dinner and staying to play. We miss seeing you guys!

Sunday we had our big Thanksgiving dinner but before things got going we had Toby over for a playdate in the morning. It was cold enough for hats and mitts but the kids still had fun on the climber and playing with the jeep in the yard. Then it was inside for some fun that ended up with a skeleton and dragon chasing each other around the house.

Later in the afternoon Nan Nan came by to help us enjoy our turkey dinner. Everything turned out perfectly and we were all hungry after a short walk in the woods with the dogs. Thanksgiving dinner was filling and wonderful to share with family. Thanks for making it so special Nan Nan and we missed you Uncle Rick, hope you are feeling better (but thanks for not sharing your cooties LOL)

Although Monday was a holiday, we still had gymnastics and we were able to take Charlotte so her mom could spend some much needed one on one time with her older sister Emily. After gymnastics the girls had lunch here and spent the afternoon playing. Needless to say, the girls were exhausted by the end of the day.
We had more rain on Tuesday and then SNOW Wednesday. That didn't keep us from walking the dogs but we needed hats and mitts and Sid decided to bring her two babies along in a sling. It was very cute and she managed the entire walk while talking to her girls and making sure they were warm.

Tasha, our foster dog, is still here and a real gem. She fits right in and was a perfect guest during all the chaos of people coming and going this past weekend. Her only downfall is her determination to get out cats. In the video below Sid is lecturing Tasha about how owning cats is a privilege and that she should not "die" the cats because they catch the mice who eat holes in our shed floor. What a riot!
