We are getting in to the holiday spirit around here. This weekend, Gebee and the boys made our place cards for Thanksgiving Day Dinner. (You will notice that they are not place cards, but cups. We are going to fill them with sugared pecans at each place setting).
As Gebee's health is slowly declining, we are truly thankful for the time we get to spend with her. They boys look forward to hearing her silly songs and listening to her read them books. They also love doing "art projects" with her. I am thankful to be able to hear stories from when Brian was younger and when Gebee was growing up and to be able to get her "go-to" recipes. And, I know that Brian is just thankful to have his mom around. We love you Gebee!!
The end result.....turkey cups. Benjamin did not think that the candied pecans would taste good -- he was wrong!
Earlier in the week, we meet Uncle Evan at Bass Pro Shop for a Christmas craft. Uncle Evan surprised us with a cookie cake that said "Happy Thanksgiving Benjamin and Ethan." The boys were thankful for a very cool treat with their name on it. And, though we did not get to see Santa (believe it or not, he was on a dinner break!) I am thankful for the fun times I get to spend with my brother.
We are looking forward to hosting turkey day in our new house and getting to spend the day and weekend visiting with friends and family.
