Thanksgiving Weekend

Uncle Leo, Auntie Tracy, Cousin Sierra (or "Baby C" as Ava calls her) and Grandma Rose came to visit for Thanksgiving this year.  They got her Wednesday afternoon and left again Sunday just before lunch.  Aunties Donna and Margaret also came to visit from Friday afternoon until Sunday after lunch, and we had Grama, Papa, Auntie Jennifer, Cousin Caitlin, Jennifer's dad George and her brother Sean over for Thanksgiving dinner.

Sierra did great on the flight.

Fiona and Leo playing fishing on Thursday.


Fiona really likes playing with Sierra.


Sierra's ready for some food.

Ava really liked the pies. 

So did Caitlin and Fiona. 

Yep, Ava really liked the pies.  :) 

Sean and the girls dancing after dinner.

Friday we set up the Christmas trees (the big one downstairs and a little one in Fiona's room) and other Christmas decorations.

Ava got to help decorate for a little bit until she was doing more taking off than putting up new ones.



Fiona helped with the bottom two thirds (where she could reach), and she put on the star. 

When the downstairs one was done Fiona wanted to set up the tree in her room right away too.




All the girls had fun playing on Friday also.



On both Friday evening (after dinner) and Sat afternoon Fiona, Donna, Margaret, Tracy and Ava (with help) made a family of penguins.

Saturday after lunch everyone except Sean and Ava (who was napping) went bowling.  Leo, Tracy and Sierra stayed for one game and everyone else stayed for two.  Fiona bowled with bumpers, but without the slide (so granny style) and got a 36 and a 32.  After every throw she would run back to the ball return to watch how many pins she hit and then wait for her ball to come back up.  She had a lot of fun.








Tracy helped Sierra bowl one frame.

Fiona took a picture of me while I was bowling. 


 We also took a couple family pictures on Saturday evening.  There's one of all of us, but I don't have a copy of it yet.

Unfortunately Ava got sick starting Saturday evening (coughing, runny nose) and then it got worse on Sunday.  She just sat or slept the entire day.  Poor girl had a fever, runny nose and cough.
