This morning (the day after Thanksgiving) was the traditional time to write a letter to Santa. Keary got busy on that job. Grandpop and I have been tasked to get it to the North Pole.
We had a delicious dinner, sans turkey. We had a really good baked ham, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, broccoli/rice casserole and a coconut/bourbon bundt cake. The best part was we had to do a minimum of cooking. All three of us ladies appreciate a day free from cooking!!
As you can tell from the photos . . . Keary demonstrated that he learned to "stop, drop and roll" from a group of firemen that came to his school to talk about fire safety, we put together puzzles, and we did some serious coloring.
As I said, DeaSha was able to join us. Seems as though she was happy to be here.
In addition to other "fixin's," DeaSha brought flowers for our dinner table. (The table cloth was leftover from Halloween, complete with skeletons.) From somewhere out of the past John put to work some flower arranging skills he learned, while living in Japan. His efforts resulted in a beautiful arrangement.
Keary also showed us he can now tie his shoes.
After Thanksgiving dinner we all settled in front of the television to watch "Ratatouie" on DVD.
Keary and DeaSha did some multi-tasking by watching the movie and coloring pictures simultaneously!
DeaSha is a very busy lady with her nursing classes and working on the weekends at Shephard Hospital. She is happy for this holiday providing some time off - even if it's only for a day and a half.
We plan to see them all again before we leave, but time is moving very fast and it's getting short.
