Thanksgiving Evening

~ Friday Morning ~

 

 

These four convinced us that Thanksgiving would not be complete unless they came to our house overnight. I made the boys a bed on the living room floor with a few comforters and blankets. Gloria slept on the couch. They liked this setup so they could all be in the same room.

 

 

Jere told me that their three wanted to watch Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas Special, so I made sure the popcorn, drink, and beds were ready by 8 o’clock. 

 

 

It was quite cute.

 

 

However, I think my favorite was Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, which followed.

Poor Linus was trying to give up his blanket before grandma came to visit. But, the picture above shows the end result. He just couldn’t do it.

 

 

I was awakened at 5:30 on Friday morning when I heard two little voices in our bedroom saying, “Can we get up Grandma?”

Before long they called me to come to see their train of dominoes.

 

 

They wanted me watch them fall.

 

 

…and they did – everyone.

I took them home about 4 p.m. The house seemed so quiet after there was no silliness, game competition, and questions.

 

 

It was fun watching three noisy blue jays competing for seeds that were on the ground. I never did get a photo of all three.

 

 

I love seeing downy woodpeckers. They beautify our bird feeders.
