Our Thanksgiving 2024

This is our second Thanksgiving here in Florida. :) And it was so wonderful!

Eric and I were up early.  I had my devotions and then showered and did my hair and makeup. 

After I got ready, I started to prepare the food.  All the girls helped doing various things and I was grateful for their help.

The morning was filled with preparation and fellowship.  After our meal, we all took a walk.  We went into the pool and the girls sat down on the chairs and I believe everyone fell asleep!  Ha!  Lots of people take a nap on Thanksgiving but probably not by the pool. :) It was a perfect day - warm and breezy.  79 degrees.  I LOVED it!




The sky and the water.  So pretty!





We came back and I did the dishes.  We all had pie and then watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.  Then they watched Free Birds which is a cartoon movie.  I did some cleaning and laid down for a little nap.  Nugget came and hung out with me. Her face is so funny!

Pumpkin pie



That's Nugget sleeping with me. :). Her face cracks me up!


Addie with Brad's family on Thanksgiving.






We ended the day playing a long game of Dutch Blitz and playing Christmas music.  I love playing games and boy, those girls can play!

What a wonderful and sweet Thanksgiving day!  I am so grateful.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
