Happy Thanksgiving

The grandkids and their support unit arrived yesterday.

It doesn't seem fair that one package could contain so much cute.



The night before when Papa was holding him before a barf bowl. An iPad is to Louis as the word "squirrel" is to the dog in Up. 


Nina submits to hair combing; not her favorite activity.

The cooking began at first light.  Now a last minute trip to Fred Meyers, then the good part starts.

Enjoy your family and friends today and be thankful (and warm).
