November...at Last!

I know, I know. Ive been promising to post Thanksgiving pictures and here it is time for Christmas posts. I finally found my missing camera cable!

 Let's start with November and I'll share Christmas with you next time. We were so delighted that Nick and Diana joined us for our Thanksgiving this year. Last year they were in sunny Thousand Oaks, CA with Nick's grandparents, having just moved to San Diego. This year we ordered up a proper fall for them and had orange leaves and snow all in one week. I 'll admit that now that I am a Gramma, that baby boy is a big plus for them! They can come and bring him to my house any time...ANYTIME!

The following is a pictorial review of Thanksgiving, heavy on the grandson!

Pa reads great stories and there's usually some ice cream when he's around.
Gram gives out tiny pumpkins and leaves her storage boxes out so you can climb inside of them! Roxie gets her teeth brushed...that is totally fascinating.
You can get Christmas presents early if you look at Gramma with your big round eyes.
Some people want to put bunny hats on you, but you can rip them right off!

 

It was a wonderful time. Nick had to leave us early to get back to school and work, but Lucas and Diana stayed for another week. What fun we had! I share our December with you next time!

For the Birds!

As I told you last month, Nick and Diana have moved in with us for a short time and with them came the grandbirdies, Evie and Augie. They are so happy, singing and chirping all day long. They love to compete with any noise in the house. Their favorite sounds? Water running in the kitchen, silverware clicking in the sink, the vacuum, and the radio or i Pod (especially the Beatles, they have good taste!).  They provide plenty of laughs too. Case in point...

Diana lets them out to fly about and stretch their wings and this is where they landed!

 "Move over you faux birds, we have arrived!"

They consider themselves part of the family, trying to insert themselves into the family picture...

They are dressed in the color theme of green, brown, and yellow after all!

They make me smile. I am grateful.

Now a question. Who do you think these feet belong to?

I'll tell you next time. Were are having lots of fun!
