Thanksgiving

Last night Jeff told Grandpa that he wanted to wake to the smell of bacon......so, Grandpa made breakfast this morning!! It snowed a couple of inches overnight, so everything looked nice and white! Great for sledding down our street, shoveling snow, etc....We had a wonderful dinner with everyone pitching in to get it ready.

Grandma helping to cleanup after the be feast! Grandpa taking it easy after dinner....I think the tryptophan has started it way thru his system!

Making the trek back up the hill after a fun sled ride down!

On their way again!

George is removing snow from the truck so he can move it, then on to shoveling the driveway!

Mark doing what he does best!!

We have so many things to be grateful for. Our family, friends, our faith and belief in God, those military personnel that are serving, good health, a beautiful place to live.

Kids at the Special Olympics!

Emily and Jeff, Courtney and Alex went with us adults to watch the Special Olympics.....The kids were not that interested in watching bowling, but the arcade games were quite interesting!

Grandkids

This last weekend I had the opportunity to go visit Matt, Annette, Tristan and Ian in St Joseph MI. I flew from Anchorage to Chicago on Thrusday, and rented a car for the drive to St Joseph. On Friday it was raining, so we went out for lunch, took a quick look around town, then headed back to Matt and Annette's place. I got to feed Ian and then let him have his nap on my chest! I was in heaven! Nothing like having a newborn sleeping on your chest!

On Saturday, the rain had stopped, the was peeking thru the clouds, and the wind was howling....maybe because it was Halloween.....so another lunch date out, walked thru downtown, took some pictures of Lake Michigan, and back to Matt and Annette's. More napping on my chest.......MORE HEAVEN!!!

Sunday I had to head back to Chicago for my flight back to Anchorage. The weather was gorgeous!

Here are some pictures of the visit.
