HAPPY AFTER THANKSGIVING!

This Thanksgiving went by so fast with Cory, Riyoko and Bo being here for only 2-1/2 days!

They arrived at 8:30am Thanksgiving morning, with me meeting them at the car and getting Bo out of his car seat and hardly letting go of him until they left Saturday morning at 11:30!

On Thanksgiving, the kid's friends from LA, who were in Thanksgiving for the weekend, arrived for cocktails and dinner - a fantastic time had by all and everyone helped clean up the kitchen which was much appreciated!  Little Bo enjoyed the day in his swing and tasting cranberry relish that Cory let him taste when Riyoko was in the kitchen fixing his bottle so mom doesn't know!  The only time he would cry was when he was overly tired and just wouldn't give in.

Friday was ever so busy with Cory's friend, from school, and his wife stopping by for two hours and Carla stopping by for an hour to see Bo and then the kids were off to the west side to see another friend, from school, and his family.  They arrived back at the house and at 7:30 with more friends from school and their families coming by for cocktails and dinner - I made a big casserole dish of Ziti and Caesars Salad and Cory picked up a couple of pizzas - it was such a fun evening with all of the kids talking about fun and funny stories about old times.  Dick and and I really enjoyed the evening 'cause we have known all of these kids since they were 10 and they used to spend many over nights at our house with me cooking cinnamon french toast in the morning!  Bo had hardly any naps this day and by the evening he was exhausted and being very cranky but I don't blame him 'cause he had been handled by so many people including his grandpa and grandma!  Everyone left about 11:30pm and we all just fell into bed!



On Saturday morning we all went out to breakfast and they left at 11:30am - it took them 6 hours to get back to LA and they can usually make it in 4 hours!

Bo is such a happy baby and smiles all of the time!
