A few Thanksgiving Memories of 2011

Look what Grandma Lynn made for our granddaughters Elora, Cami, and Violet, 
and their friends, Hailey, Anna, and Ian ! 
(Cami was sick on Thanksgiving and camped out in the other room. We missed her!)

She got the pattern off Den's daughter's website YOUCANMAKETHIS
What a forever memory this makes!


I was lucky to get a picture before Ian took his hat off. 
But the girls kept them on all afternoon and probably beyond.

One of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving was over hearing Elora talk to her friend Hailey. 
None of us got the whole conversation but a few heard Elora say at one point, 
"Don't worry. The store employees kill the turkeys."
(Apparently she was trying to explain Thanksgiving to Hailey)

This reminds me of the time I was trying on clothes with Elora in a Target dressing room. 
We suddenly heard a loud noise and by reflex I asked,  
"What was that?" 
Without skipping a beat Elora responded, 
"Oh that's just Target making more clothes."   !! :)


And a few states over, here are some of our Utah grandchildren 
getting ready for the next day of Black Friday at their Moms' quilt shoppe.   
Did they spend the night there, is what Grandpa wants to know?

On another note,
Go here and watch what one mother is very thankful for!
Sweet, doesn't even begin to describe this.

Cute pictures. I hope Cami is feeling better. Love that girl.

Those hats are pretty dang cute, and so is the sweet little scooter. She didn't seem to be letting any problems she might have get in the way!

A good lesson for all of us, I think.
