With a snow storm expected for Monday, Grammy traveled to OP on Sunday to spend the night to be there to attend Garrison's Veteran's Day Program at school and to spend the day shopping/lunch with Amanda. About half way through the program, Garrison started feeling badly, and after Amanda took him to the nurse, the decision was made he needed to go back to the ER at Children's Mercy South since he had about passed out during the program. After more tests and observation, the doctors felt he was going to be okay. He didn't return to school - Chad was working from home, so Garrison stayed with him so he could rest. Amanda and Peggy got in a little shopping after lunch in the caterer at CMS. We felt so blessed Garrison was going to be okay - he was released two weeks later after not having PE or sports while his neck healed. Scary.
We attended Garrison's first basketball game of the season - it was exciting. First year for 5 on 5 - it was fast paced and intense. They 28-16. We had an early dinner at Costa Vida.
Peyton turned 11 this month. She had a Late Over Birthday Party for her friends with Dance Party and lots of food! We had her Clinton birthday party - Kit Kat Mousse was the dessert of choice this year - Thanksgiving night after they arrived in Clinton.
We had our 15th annual baking day on November 29 - what a fun day! Ron and Chad played a little golf, although the weather was not cooperative. We had lots of fun with Pizza Glen for dinner.
Thanksmas for the family was November 30 this year with Mark joining us for prime rib and all the fixings. We played the Saran Wrap Ball game (a family favorite), pass the mints, pictionary and steal a gift before having dinner together. Our first Thanksgiving without Mary - we missed her but enjoyed using the table cloth she so lovingly embroidered every year. We signed it again this year - I will make an attempt to do justice to carry on the tradition.
Thanksgiving - we are so thankful for our blessings!!!! Thank you God
