I'm whupped. We had 20 folks here today. Most of them were kids. The thing about kids and Thanksgiving is that it's not really about the food. It's about having fun.
Our great-great-nephew Easton came with his grandmother and great-grandmother. He's in pre-school.
He was cranked but he was not a fan of the dogs. When I told him the dogs owned the farm and they only let us live here, he thought about that for a long time. Soon, he was fine with them being around.
Today was a couple of first for him. Zuzu which is my nephew Jame's baby daughter taught Easton how to go through the doggie door. He was ecstatic.
I managed to get them all to stand still for a few moments, but as you can tell by the look on Jordan's face (far left) that he really thought slowing down to take a picture was a waste of time.
I hope today has been a one for you and your family.

I just awoke from my turkey coma. Leftovers from Thanksgiving are the best. You are growing a nice crop of nieces and nephews.

ReplyDeleteJust look at those kids.
ReplyDeleteThere's Jordon, shoulders slumped, whether from exhaustion or dejection at the halt of play, who knows?
And I do believe I see Miss Summer ( or is it Miss Daisy?) with her lovely smile. I now think of her as Summer Breeze and this leads on to the words from the song -makes me feel fine - because I feel sure that everyone who comes across Summer in their day must surely feel fine. She looks to be a lovely, kind girl.

Beautiful Children. You and Jilda are blessed.
