Well it has very good Thanksgiving for us. Michael and Erica were not expected till midnight Wednesday night but they caught an early morning standby flight and made it by 2pm Wednesday. And that's when the fun began!
Thursday morning Haidyn and I got to mom's about 8:30am and everyone was still in bed. I put Haidyn in her sling and she helped me clean the bird and get him stuffed. She and I spent the morning counting our blessings while we worked. By the time grandmommie got up the bird was ready for the oven and Haidyn had lost count and decided to take a nap. I laid her down on grandmommie's bed so they could snuggle a while and visit.
Once everyone got up and moving it was time to start cooking the rest of the meal. Erica is a BIG scrapbooker and I bought her a little project to work on. She finished a holiday can to take home with my supplies. She was interested in my growing scrapbooking tool collection, Haidyn's scrapbook I finished for her but most of all my excitment in the hobby. Grandmommie, Ken and mom passed Haidyn around and visted while Michael and Todd came to our house to play video games.
About 2:30 we all came to the table to eat. There was turkey, dresssing, gravy, green beans, pinto beans, corn, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, fruit salad and corn bread. Whew- we did some good eating!
After lunch there were many rest periods as we planned black friday shopping plans.
Friday morning Haidyn got to slip in bed with GiGi before 5am and miss the shopping trips....
And that's where I passed out last night:) more to come-we are so thankful for the answered prayers. God is always good!
