Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was so much better this year...DAD WAS WITH US!!! Last year before Thanksgiving he was admitted to the hospital with a high fever that wouldn't break. The fever turned very serious as he rapidly declined in the hospital. He had every test under the sun performed at least once, saw almost every doctor known to man and we still never found out what exactly was wrong with him. He spent 10 days in the hospital. While we knew it was serious, we didn't find out until weeks later how serious. As dad went to all his follow up doctor's appointments, Dr. Capelli, our forever family doctor and friend, told us he was really scared we were going to lose dad. We found out he even spent the night he was on call in dad's room with him. We are so thankful that we weren't with dad bedside this year, rather we were table side! 
 Ready to go for dinner!
 Ava helped decorate the table.

 Having the mesquite turkey back was also another bonus of dad being with us!

 We gave Gianna a sheet of stickers and she found a way to entertain herself for quite awhile! 
 I love her little gramma lipped face!
