Although we are away from our family for Thanksgiving this year, our daughter Lisa and her family made a surprise visit. And what a surprise it was for my dear hubby. She needed to let me know she was coming so I could make preparations, and it was harder than I thought it would be to keep it a secret from Mike. There were numerous occasions where I almost let the cat out of the bag.
Lisa, Shane, JJ, Leah, and Jaxon arrived about 5:30 PM Wednesday night. I was watching for them out the kitchen window while Mike and I cooked dinner. I had him made extra which he didn't catch on to. I guess he thought I wanted more the next day.
I had the kitchen blinds closed except for a tiny crack so I could see them. I didn't notice that Mike had left the kitchen. He went into our bedroom to close the blind and an apparition appeared in the window. There at the most perfect moment was Lisa, and the gang. Boy, was he shocked! He came back into the kitchen and exclaimed, "You won't believe who's here"!
We spent a wonderful weekend with them, and it made our Thanksgiving holiday seem like home again.
We had our own dinner the next day and joined John and Sherri and their family on Friday. Daniel and Jenny were eating Thursday with his family, and of course we wanted to be with them, so we ate again the following day with the family and another friend of theirs, Robyn and her three children whom we also ate with last year.
You just can't celebrate enough.
