After all that prep, it’s time for a feat. Leiden’s first thanksgiving.
It all starts bright and early.

Romey and O love Halloween. This year we went trick or treating at O’s house. The neighborhood was awesome. Filled with kids, costumes, great setups and even the occasional tequila shot.
Kiki!
A raccoon hunting racoon.
The banana
Bubby and the grand kids.
After some lasagna and banana pudding, we headed out for a trick or treat run. Leiden came in his carriage.
Somebody was excited.
There was, in fact, a bunch of bananas.
We even found Iulie’s second grade teacher.
This setup was by far the best…
.
A nice costume.
.
The house next door was taken over by the kraken.
.
Loot!
The favorite? Ramen of course.
So great to see the grand kids.

Wait, that’s not Iulie, that’s Leiden. Iulie’s brother came along to drop her off for a visit to bubby and “strong grandpa.”
And we had a morning fire the next morning since it was under 40.
We made Captain Crunch pancakes. Well one anyway.
The dogs were amused.
We did a chore. Iulie is an excellent helper.
Then we carved some pumpkins…ultimately named Gerald (the big guy) and Jerome.
We separated the seeds.
We checked out the tree.
We visited Bubby at work.
Leiden came to retrieve his sister too.
The fork…Iulie and I did lots of cooking together.
Bubby and Iulie.

Two generations of moms. Romey, Odessa, and Leiden with Iulie.
Day one. Little sister arrives.
Day one visit required some mac and cheese and chicken nugget sustenance. Not to mention a breakfast of captain crunch (tell no one).
This time we remembered to bring the rose we made.
Little brother will be loved by all.

Eventually, these four became the “s’more sisters”, to whit, Marshmallow, Chocolate, Graham, and Cracker.
Iulie is all about the birds.
