Thanksgiving 2012 ....
was a bit different this year but also very full of traditions!!
It lasted 48 hours as usual, but mom was not there she was in the
hospital recovering from knee surgery.
We enjoyed lots of family time and a great dinner.
Did take a break to run to the hospital ....
Added Ryan's birthday into Thanksgiving this year!!!
Everyone needs a little birthday cake with their pumpkin pie ....
Ryan got the most amazing gift from Papa ..
He made him a shadow box of all his Police Memrobilia ..
Badge, uniform buttons, name plate and more ...
A gift ryan will treasure forever
We have not missed a day of black friday shopping since 1979. The mall's have changed and we missed my mom,
but we hit the mall. Even Grandma at 93 didn't miss our day. So funny I don't think it even had a name of black friday when we started shopping on Friday. It was something to do in Palm Springs every year when the men golfed. ( Which they all did today too, even Ryan now plays in the day after tournament with Papa, Uncle Jim, Ron, Mario, Mark, and Sam.)
I LOVE TRADITIONS !!!!
Back to Joanies to do Thanksgiving Dinner with leftovers, they taste so much better when you share them the 2nd night ...
And as always, Great Gram handed out our Christmas Ornament of the year to all .. My tree is full of ornaments given to me and my family
by my grandpa and grandma...
LOVE !!!!!
