This year we had the joy of hosting a Bowen Thanksgiving! Jessica and her family stayed here as well as DD and Ya Ya. The cousins got a long well together and were worn out by the end of the day. We took the girls to The Arboretum and Build a Bear! A great time was had by all. Unfortunetly, I did not take as many pictures as I wanted or planned. Wednesday afternoon, Alexandra woke up with a constant dry cough. By noon she had a fever of 105. Needless, to say we had to put her in our bedroom away from everyone else. Toby and I took turns holding her for the rest of the day. DD and Ya Ya often visited her whick brightened Alexandra's day since she couldn't leave the room. On Thanksgiving Day, Mike and family came over and Uncle Steve and Aunt Kathy joined us as well. The kids had fun, however, Alexandra did not get to join in on the festivities. We took Alexandra to the doctor on Friday and she had bronchitis, again. Friday we had a cousin reunion and celebrated Ariana's 3rd birthday.
We had a wonderful visit with the family! I am thankful we could all spend time together. I am also thankful Carolyn (Ya Ya) cooked the turkey and other fixins for the Thanksgiving feast. Thank you DD and Ya Ya for keeping the kids while us bigger kids got to go putt-putting and out to eat! All of us miss everyone and can't wait to see them all again!
