We had Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Kartchner's house this year. It's been a lot of years since we've done that and it was so fun. Lots of old memories came flooding back and it was fun to have cousins there to share them with! We were able to stay the weekend at the Marm with a couple little trips to St. David to say hi in the mix. Family is everything!
Mikayla was elated when she saw that the Thanksgiving cups were "crystal" (clear plastic cups). She saved some and carried them around with her all weekend and brought them home. They are treasures for sure! She checks on them every few minutes to make sure none have broken and she will name those that have broken any of her treasures. The cups were used for decorations on the Marm Christmas tree for a short time, but she couldn't part with them long enough to leave on the tree. Moments like these make me wonder why we ever get our kids any toys when crystal cups and cardboard boxes provides the best entertainment and pleasure?!
Grandma gave each of the grandkids a black garbage sack tied up and inside was a surprise afghan. She said she didn't want to know which afghan we got because it might be "ugly or dumb", but we were excited about ours. My Mom said Grandma had a bunch of leftover hot pot holders so she put them together to make an afghan and that's the one we got. Mikayla loves it and calls it her "Africa blanket".
Maylee snuck outside in 30 degree weather with no pants or shoes, dragging this toy car, in search of her Dad and Grandad.
The girls helped Grandad decorate the outside Marm Christmas tree, too.
Yet another Mikayla treasure. Grandma Kartchner gave her these bell Christmas tree ornaments and she decided they make lovely earrings. She even wore a pair to church today.
