The kids had so much fun playing at Mema Shirley's house on Thanksgiving Day. I especially like this picture of Blake and Codie. He towers over his mom now and is no longer one of the kids. It's a little bit strange to see him so grown up. Trisha, Richard, Austin and Madison were in town from LaFayette, La. They drove a long way to come and celebrate with us. Had they not shown up, I don't think we would have had a Thanksgiving at all. Mema Shirley decided to throw the party only because Trisha was coming to town and wanted to spend some time with her family. In the end, we did not do Thanksgiving with the Tingle's this year. Jennifer was in the hospital for six days, getting out only the day before Thanksgiving. She really needed to rest. Mary and Rabun both had terrible colds. It was just too much to throw it together when no one was feeling especially chipper. The good news is that everyone is doing better this week. We'll just put more effort into Christmas in a couple of weeks. The bad news is that we always take our Tingle family Christmas card picture on Thanksgiving day at the Tingle Manor. Since we didn't go there this year, I completely forgot to take one. So...I am looking through the pictures that we have for a family picture for this year's card. Our Christmas newsletter usually goes out in the mail by December 1st. I haven't even written this year's letter yet. I am so behind.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
