Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving dinner at dad and Joan's house. It was a small group and seemed a little different than years past, almost like something was missing. To our surprise the Beales showed up a little earlier and put some added smiles on the kids' faces. Grammy Nome was eager to get the kids started on her crafting frenzy that she had been planning and preparing for for hours, and I do mean many. This was just a taste of the girly stuff that Skylar was going to be able to get her hands on, the gems for the purses that Grammy Nome had sown for the girls to decorate to give away to their friends for Christmas. The boys were to be busy at work in the workshop making something for their rooms. Dustin made a toy chest/table. Can't beat woodwork when you are 6!

Then there is always the children who have gotten ahold of the olives. Now don't pretend that you have never done this.
