Good afternoon Ladies ! I hope you are doing well on this Sunday . We are coming to the end of a 4 day weekend after celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday. I got a little time to sit down and write my post !

As I left you last week we were getting ready to see the orthopedic doctor in relation to our sons fractured leg from the previous Tuesday. We both went to the appointment on Tuesday morning and they took a look at the leg. They cut off the splint (soft cast) and checked things out. Then the doctor figured he needed a hard cast . So he was able to pick out the color and went with red. It was interesting watching the technician putting it on . The mesh wraps around easily and then it hardens pretty fast. We set up a new appointment for December 7th. we were also able to get a wheelchair that day. We use it when needed around the house. But it is so nice to have when we leave! He is getting better at getting around himself , and will go back to school Tuesday.

On Wednesday evening we started getting things ready for the arrival of our guests on Thursday. We got the extra tables and chairs set up and had a nice evening just the 6 of us. On thanksgiving morning My Mother and father in law arrived first with their side dish , then a little later my brothers-in -law and their families showed up . In all there were 18 of us and we had a lovely family day of food drink and laughter. We had 5 people stay over in total( Mom and Dad -in- law and Brother in law his wife and baby son) The baby’s Mom unfortunately woke up with earache and after getting checked had an internal and external ear infection. In the afternoon we made a bunch of cookies , a black Friday tradition!

On Saturday we had breakfast at a new restaurant in the morning , and did a bunch of work around the house and got some inflatables and Christmas lights installed.
