We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day up here in Alaska. No snow and the sun shone through the clouds making it a beautiful day. We had appetizers at 2:00 and Caden was the first to put an olive on all 5 fingers. He had to wrestle Grandpa for those. Not sure who loves olives more...Caden or Grandpa! Ed's sister Caryn came with her family and his parents Ed & Barbara were here too. After everyone arrived, I handed each a leaf with their name on it. On the back I asked everyone to write what they were thankful for this Thanksgiving. Before grace, we all read the back of our card (I cried of course) and then hung our leaf on a branch in the middle of the table. It was very touching and very nice. After that, we ate and ate and ate (hay...that is what it is all about right...good food and family?). We watched "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation" and laughed and laughed. It was a very nice day. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Glad to hear your Thanksgiving was a good one. Mine was too. We bellied up to Jeff and Erin's table for a great meal and a great family day. The olives on Caden's fingers brought back years of memories from Ohio to Connecticut and trailing out to the big AZ. Wonderful memories they were. Happy to see the memory making continues. Love Mumsy
