This year the girls and I flew to Virginia for Thanksgiving. Andy had a busy schedule and sometimes it's hard to be in a new place for your first family holiday. Good thing we have airplanes that can cover the miles upon miles of distance between you and your family! The girls were so excited about getting to see Mimi and Papa as well as getting to fly in an airplane.
everyone is happy but MC…why is she upset? because she had to sit in the middle and can't reach her tv screen that is on the back of the chair in front of her…(sigh)...
And we made it! On to yummy food, great conversations and lots of baking and game playing!
the girls are playing "Macy's TG parade Bingo"…they LOVED it
playing by their own rules I am sure...
Little Miss Caroline came over to view the quilts we all made this summer at the beach…what a cutie
Ms Kathy is educating us on the joys of Charlie Brown movies
Mc playing with cars…she's my child that loves to play with others but also will just disappear and be found playing nicely by herself.
we had a little memorial service for our beloved cat who passed away right before our visit. Cagney lived to be 15, so she definitely lived a good, long life!
you can't have a trip to Mimi's without baking something! Pound cake it is!:)
the kids playing play-dough
granny and the girls…a little blurry...
Granny gave all the grandkids a very meaningful gift this year. She had all her dad's (our great grandfathers) law certificates/degrees framed and gave each of us one. William Basil Bruce was a self-made lawyer and even served in the house of delegates. We had a great time listening to her stories and just being with everyone.
a picture of all Granny's grandkids (minus 2 spouses)
we also played lots and lots of connect four…lots of it...
