THANKSGIVING USA

After a spending lovely Thanksgiving Day with Rachel, Jeff and the five boisterous Browns, a perfectly joyful bundle, where Eli had his 10th birthday, Lizzie wants to dye her hair black, Bella would eat only Balogne every day of her life, Anna can be found at any minute in a fantasy world with Barbie and Oliver has learned to pull himself up, locks his legs and stands tall and straight and then does not know the next thing to do until rescued, so he is learning slowly but surely!

I traveled with Ben and Julie about 3 hours drive from Rachel's to Indiana, to Dan and Lilon's home where I met Ariana and Derick and family and where I met Mr. Noah Merrill for the first time. He has features like his Dad and brother, especially around the eyes,

but he is much more like his mother was at that age.

He just cuddled in beside me and I loved every minute of it.

There I also had the delight of seeing how much Ms. Ingrid had grown and enjoyed the company of the skallywags Cora and Janae.

Lilon outdid herself with a turkey to die for and cranberry sause made from scratch.

Ian obviously approved!!!!

We were all playing PIT, a favorite family game, when we turned around and there he was thoroughly enjoying himself!!!
