Ohio Visitors- Henry.
To celebrate Thanksgiving at school, we always host a Stone Soup lunch for our families. I was worried that we would have to eat the stones and they might break my teeth. Mama said that there weren't really stones in the soup. It just meant everyone gave a little and we made a great soup from it all. And it didn't really matter anyway, because there was no chance I was going to eat that soup.
My class made the corn bread, of which June and I ate many slices. The other classes helped make table decorations. Mama found the leaf our neighbor James painted. She couldn't help but take a picture before she dropped it off for Miss Kerri. Notice that he's thankful for John and I, but not his little brother, Andy.
Hey! What are Uncle Kevin and Aunt Elizabeth doing here? They decided to take a long weekend down to South Carolina. They even got Grandma and Grandpa Seibert to watch their three, so it could be a little vacation. But we think the real reason was that Aunt Elizabeth hadn't met Georgie yet, and could wait until Christmas to get a squeeze in.
And can you blame her? This little girl is cute!
We took them out to all of our favorite places- including the great barbeque place with live bluegrass music, our favorite bakery for some buttery grits, and the botanical gardens.
I loved hanging out with my aunt and uncle. Aunt Elizabeth made me giggle the whole time she was here. Maybe it's her black, curly hair, because mama and papa have not been able to get her to giggle like that since.
And wouldn't you know, the kids finally took a great picture! Maybe we can photoshop mama and papa's heads in.
After Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Kevin left on Monday, we had to get down to the business of preparing for our next company- all of the Coopers were coming down for Thanksgiving. This included lots of cleaning, grocery shopping, and child neglect.
Luckily, Georgie recovered before the family started rolling in.
