Thanksgiving

Just us pie bakers!

Although little Miss was coughing (still fighting her lung congestion) she had a great Thanksgiving. We all had a great Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for.  Love my family beyond words.

Bella had fun getting ready for the holiday..baking pies, watching her favorite musical (Phantom) and just hanging out. I'm so glad we took her into the Clinic before the long weekend so she could get started on antibiotics (and now steroids). This episode will hopefully pass quickly and she will be back to her normal little self again.

In case no one noticed I finished Bella's Great Strides 2017 campaign video. She selected the song "Human" by Christina Perri. Maybe 2017 will be the year we find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis!


Now we will start really getting serious about Christmas!! Her school Christmas program will be Dec. 6th. I can't wait!! I'm such a mush head that I will probably get all teary-eyed when they sing. Oh well!

Thank you Kathryn for the porch ideas!

Bella and Daddy Date

Today is Bella's Kindergarten Thanksgiving Party and Daddy has taken the day off so he can attend. When I told Bella last week that Daddy was going to be the one coming to her party she almost had tears in her eyes.."I just love my Daddy too much!" (And he loves you Sweet Pea).  

So today Daddy is taking her to school, having lunch at school with her and then checking her out of school for the afternoon and they are going to go see a movie. She is beyond excited!! "Grammy..I remember when I was like 4 or maybe 3 and you painted my toenails and fingernails and curled my hair and I got to put a tiny bit of blush on my cheeks and I got all dressed up and then my Daddy picked me up and we had a movie date! I remember that!! And we are doing it again!! I love my Daddy!"  (You have a very special Daddy! I love him, too!)



Today will be a catch up day for me..I'm going to finish  putting up Christmas decorations outside and start planning our Thanksgiving dinner!

Thumbs UP, MeMe!!!

Carol's surgery went very well! As a matter of fact she is back home already!! We are all so very proud of her and her determination to get back on her feet. YOU ROCK, Carol!!!   Bella (and all of us) loves MeMe so much and was very worried about her.  She was very excited to hear she was going home last night!

Silly Time

Well...I posted so many pictures and videos on FB last week that I thought I had posted my weekly B 'n Me post!  OOPS!!  Grammy is getting old!

Bella and I had a great week...she got to spend the night Friday when Mommy and Daddy went to see Billy Joel. We all went out to eat with our good friends and the kids all had a blast. AND Bella ate like a CHAMP!! Taco meat, beans, queso, chips, cheese, drank a full Pediasure, and ate a chicken tender!!! That is such an accomplishment for her!! Take that CF!!!  Saturday was play with Burkley and boy-howdy did they play!  Watching those two girls come up with ideas is comical!  Of course she and I had to hunt down zombies before Burkley got here!


Bella helped me put up all the inside Christmas decorations..she also went shopping with Papa and me and picked out three more musical/animated toys for the house!  Outside decorations are almost all completed as well! Papa lit the pilot lights and all the fireplaces are up and ready. I LOVE CHRISTMAS TIME!

Back to Normal

Fun times at the airport!

Mommy and Daddy got back on Wednesday and Bella was way beyond happy! We had such a great time with her while she stayed with us but there is nothing like having Mommy and Daddy home!   I must say though that our house has been very quiet without her!

Just enjoying the day, today!

 Bella came over today so she helped me put away the Halloween and Fall decorations and we started bringing all the Christmas decorations downstairs! She is excited about putting up trees soon! Won't be long!!
