Thanksgiving
Over the River and Through the Woods
to Grandmother's House We Go!
We spent Thanksgiving
with My Folks and Family
back at My Ol' Homestead.
My Mom is always so Good
at planning EVERYTHING!
{I admire Her Marvelous Energy!}
She not only plans the Feast,
but then she also always has
Big Fun Plans
to keep the Kids Busy!
She had Thankful games,
and projects that kept them Happy All Morning!
Then after our FEASTING
She Pulled out her Traditional
Ginger Bread Houses
-One for Each Family-
and all the Trimmings
so Everyone could get their
Gingerbread House Decorating on!
Another New-ish Tradition that we Lady-Folk
started last year-
Resurrected, actually,
as it was Tradition in
My Mom's Family Years Ago-
Is that of Making Homemade Chocolates!
We make centers
and then dip them
while We chatter away!
Another Good Memory:
We Celebrated My Mom's B-day while there.
the Grandkids presented her with a
Fabulously decorated Brown Paper Bag.
Inside?
Rocks from Her Yard,
Because They Sparkle in the Sunshine.
[She Loved it of Course!]
And We'll also have to
file this Thanksgiving away
with the Puke-ies.
Everyone was always
Chipper and Well during the days,
but come night-
Some Kid or Kids
Some Where,
was Puking.
and
Some Sleepy Parent was Cleaning it Up.
A few more Favorite Moments
from the Holiday Weekend:
-Seeing My Sister's Near-Completed New House,
and
-Stopping for a Hayride under Christmas Lights,
with Hot Cocoa, on our way home.
Ah,
Good Holiday and Family Memories!
I LOVE it!
