Thanksgiving At The Knaebles'

On our way to the Cities for Thanksgiving with the Knaebles.

Alexis did very well on the ride up there... but only slept for about the last hour. Still, her "throne" gave her a great view of the road.

After the feast, Grandma Knaeble (Hunter) & her new husband, Norm, visited with my Aunt Susie and Cousin Kaleena.
Everyone got to meet little Noah.
And Alexis got to meet "Sally", Dad's white pet squirrel......and play with his collection of musical instruments.

Bill wasn't feeling well enough to hit the stores early for Black Friday, and really, there wasn't much out there that matched with the wish-lists we'd gotten from family. So we tried to sleep in... Alexis woke us up at seven... and headed over to "Super" Busha's house (that's how we started designating between her grandparents and my grandparents. I think she was getting confused with all the Bushas & Dzia Dzias).
That's where she got to meet two more white squirrels! She's very fascinated with them now! (Too bad all she'll see are deer in our new backyard. Hope those offer just as much excitement.)Uncle Tim got to meet Noah.And Alexis & "Super" Busha shared a pot of tea.
We were supposed to stay overnight Friday to go to my cousin's wedding, but Alexis' cough just hadn't improved enough. So we packed things up and headed back home for the comfort of all our own beds.
