Thanksgiving and a Surpise:

We went to my nephew, Tony's Thanksgiving day.  Tony and his wife, Lisa had a wonderful dinner.  We were all there except my brother, Russ and his family.  It was a beautiful day and some even ate outside.
We all got a surprise as Cash entered with his shirt.  The secret was finally out.

Cash and his shirt making an announcement.

 I've known since October 25th and had to be quiet.  If you know me, this was hard.  lol  April had told me the day she came over to sit with us at Mom's.  Mom was kind of in and out of it.  April was able to tell her she was expecting a baby in June.  Mom got a big smile on her face.  I told Mom if it was a girl, they were naming it after her.  Later when we were all in the room, Mom said there was a baby and it's named after  her.  Judy said, Mom no one has a baby.  I had to keep quiet.  But Mom knew and that was very important to April.

We survived our first Thanksgiving without Mom.  There was alot of talk on remember when?

We played some modern version of Charades and it was alot of fun.

Overall, Thanksgiving was a good day.

Sunday:

We had the Elrod Thanksgiving at the house.  We played Liverpool Rummy, the same as we used to when Grandma Dodie and Grandpa Andy were with us.  We had a very good day.

I am grateful for Thanksgiving and all we've been given and thankful for the memories of the ones who've gone on.
