A Happy Thanksgiving

Spent in DeKalb with the Blaus. We are thankful for family, tasty food and PIE!

Aunt, uncle and grandparents are good for reading stories, doing puzzles, playing Top Trumps cards and Ivan’s newly discovered love – Uno.

Ivan won Uno more than he lost. He’s very proud of this.

Ivan was heard to chant, “pie! pie! pie!” While all 3 pies were popular with both children, I think it is safe to say chocolate pumpkin won the fan favorite award. Here they are waiting impatiently for the cutting of the pies.

Ezri is very excited for next Monday when a new student starts in her class. She is going to sit next to the new student and be her friend. I don’t think it’s an accident that the teacher put the new girl next to Ezri who “gets along with everyone so nicely.” Ezri wants me to add that the new student’s name is London.
