Catching Up – Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was a little different this year; Paisley’s allergies have made it impossible for her to be at our house for any length of time.  Mom and I had considered doing the actual cooking over at Mandy’s house, but the thought of having to trot all of the ingredients, etc., over there and back again was just too much.  So we decided to do the cooking at our house and schlep the finished dinner to the Lacky abode for the actual event.

Mandy and her family have a tradition of visiting Bass Pro Shop on Thanksgiving morning.  There is the most amazing Santa there (the only one that Paisley has ever known!).  Grump-Pa (or as Paisley says, “Gunt-Pa”) decided to spend the morning with the family and get in on this Santa visit himself.  The store is always decorated and ready for Christmas, a wonderful place for some pictures:



Paisley was ready for Santa this year!  She told him her heart’s desire:  A Big Bird, an Elmo, and a penguin for the bath(?)…


Here is the official Santa photo for Paisley…


…And the official Santa photo for Fox:


After they returned, Dee Dee, Alan, and I loaded up the dinner and we were off!  I have to admit, it wasn’t quite as good as it is when it’s piping hot, directly from the oven, but it was still pretty good!




We were just thankful to be together!
