We
are so thankful for our family!
This
Thanksgiving we were invited to celebrate the "Giving of Thanks" holiday
with our son Ryan and his girlfriend Lea
and our granddaughters Katie and Elisabeth in North Carolina.
We
drove to Virginia and picked up the girls in Christiansburg and then drove the
2.5 hours to Huntersville.
We
had a delightful three days of cooking, eating, visiting, walking, reading, lounging and playing together.
Lea
is from Germany and made a delicious German dumplings to go with our
traditional turkey, potatoes, gravy, salad and pumpkin pie.
Ryan
and the girls created a “turkey cake” which was adorable to accommodate Katie’s
allergies.
Lea
and the girls cut, measured, sewed and stuffed a new dog bed for Johnny. The girls loved it, and Johnny was very happy
with his new bed!!
On
Friday after thanksgiving, we explored Charlotte a bit, had a yummy BBQ dinner
at Lea’s home, some delicious French pastry and saw both company headquarters
where Ryan and Lea’s jobs are headquartered.
And of course played with Johnny the dog.
Saturday,
we packed up, loaded the girls and did the reverse trip.
Thanks
again Ryan and Lea for hosting us so warmly!!
We
had such a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
