Our Thanksgiving Day

Hello everyone, we had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Our Mom had to work overtime nearly everyday for the past two weeks, so she was really worn out. But she rallied for the family troops. She had Thursday off with holiday pay and she took Friday as a vacation day. So that combined with her regular weekends off meant she was home with us for four days in a row. Yippee. She cooked a delicious meal of Turkey, stuffing, baked yams, baked white potatoes,a broccoli, carrot,  red pepper,and green beans cream casserole, crescent rolls, deviled eggs, cold veggies and dip, a home made cheeseball with crackers, and for dessert, a from scratch apple cobbler and chocolate bundt cake. Nathan and Angie and the grandkids Andrew and Alex came over to play with us. Angie brought a home made pumpkin pie cheesecake, mmmmm. Mom let us doggies have a little taste of everything except the chocolate cake. Everyone ate until we were all soooo full. The older guys, Dad, Nate, and Joe all watched the football games while Angie and Mom watched "The last Mimsy" We played ball with Alex while Andrew and Josh played their video games. After a while we all went for a walk to see who had their X-mas lights up yet and to burn off some calories. Andrew and Alex talked about what they wanted to ask Santa for. We saw some geese flying low over the lake, they are all on their way south. It was staring to get colder and the wind was blowing the leaves across the yards. We chased them around in circles along with the kids... it wore us all out. Back at the house Dad started a fire in the fireplace and the family drank some hot cocoa and some coffee and just talked and talked while they looked through all of the sale ads in the newspapers...They reminisced about the toys their remembered from their childhoods and other funny family stories that they shared . Before we knew it , all three of us doggies and the two grandsons were all fast asleep on the sofa down in the family room. Then Dad followed too, out like a light in his recliner, snoring loudly. Nathan and Angie laughed and said it was time for them to leave so they gathered up the little sleepy heads while mom loaded them up some plates of leftovers to take back home. After they were gone Mom roused Dad from his chair long enough to go upstairs to bed. We followed him.Josh and Joe were listening to some music and washing up the dishes as Mom's head hit her pillow. It was a perfect ending to our holiday . At least until Christmas, we can't wait...Dreaming of Ham...mmmm yummy
