Good morning and happy early Thanksgiving! We started the day with a cozy cup of coffee in bed. Ma and Pa - Happy Anniversary XOXOXO - soon joined us for another cup and some porridge before heading off to church. Meanwhile, I spent almost an hour assisting an Etsy customer who received a teal jewelry box and only opening now 6 weeks after it arrived with a broken pane of glass. After that, I did a bit of marketing and then got busy cleaning bathrooms and prepping snacks.
Renn, Kaylin, Nathan, and Lexi arrived around 11:30, and the churchgoers returned before noon after picking up some groceries. Britt was out with Matt and Shaina not long after, gathering ingredients in town to make chicken wraps for lunch. Dave was at home, cooking his delicious apple crisp and arrived a bit later.
GG and Great Papa brought Renn a new stuffy. These coveralls are the girls too when little xoxo
I tried to replicate a cute photo of Asher behind our pantry glass but this one is too speedy but still looks cute
Harley's new bed got lots of action
We enjoyed lots of visiting and Renn’s entertainment until she went down for her nap around 1. Nathan worked on his photography skills, capturing some great photos. The fellows relaxed on the deck with beers, keeping the house quieter for the nap. Shaina enjoyed Harley’s new bed while the gals visited inside, and I prepped the turkey and potatoes. Britt trimmed Lexi’s nails and gave her an anti-itch shot before heading off to ride Roo.

When Dave arrived around 2:30, Renn was just waking up. She was eager to explore outside, see the horses, and run around. B returned from her ride, and Renn got to sit up with her for a bit. Dave and B then went to check on Basil, who had a swollen back leg. B treated him just in time for supper. The meal turned out to be delicious, with birthday cake served alongside ice cream and strawberry sauce, thanks to Grama Pat. Dave’s hot apple crisp was also a hit.
listen to her story she is telling me
I just missed the cutest picture of Renn down after opening door kissing Harley XOXO
Happy birthday to Kaylin, Papa, Dave and anniversary to Grama and Papa.
Someone loves ice cream, stewed strawberries and the apples from the crisp.
Before the Boysis family headed back to the city after 6 for bath and bedtime, we snapped some memorable photos. Then it was time for card games. Papa rested in the big brown chair for the first game before joining in. We wrapped up around 9 since Matt and Britt have early work mornings. I ended the night watching some YouTube videos while S browsed the internet—our typical way to wind down without the yogurt bowl.
wave goodbyes and high fives <3
