Thanksgiving Lunch With Grandma

Today was Thanksgiving lunch with Grandma. Jo was very excited to get to go to Grandma's. We had a regular Thanksgiving dinner complete with Pumpkin pie which Jo did not like. When Grandma asked what kind of pie Jo was going to have tomorrow Jo's reply was "Apple." This was the first we had heard of this but tomorrow we are having apple pie along with pumpkin. The second picture is funny. We have a tradition of putting "horns" over people in some of our pictures. Jo was trying to do this over her Grandma's head but she just did not have long enough arms. After our lunch we walked out to the front of the building. There are rocking chairs all along the front of the building. Jo wanted to rock so we did. She did this with her Aunt Jane Ellen at Grandma's 90th birthday back in the spring. While we were sitting there she said,"Aunt Jane Ellen would rock with me if she were here." I told her yes she would. Aunt Jane Ellen lives in Florida but she would rock with Jo or do anything else Jo asked her to do. After we left we headed to the mall to do some Christmas shopping. Jo always wants to ride with me. She had left her Santa hat in the car on Monday and was glad to find it. She calls it her Christmas hat. We also went to Wal-mart, where she put more change in the bellringers kettle. We had to get the last minute Thanksgiving items. They had a horse in the entryway and Jo wanted to ride. It was very funny because it played the theme from Bonanza. She loved it. Take a few minutes in this holiday season and be thankful for those people in your life who you love and who love you. And don't forget to have some pumpkin pie with that cool whip. Or is that apple pie?
