Well the Schmidts survived Thanksgiving. We spent the day with my family at my aunt's house in Eden Prairie. We've never had Thanksgiving at my aunt's house. She moved to San Francisco 26 years ago and before that we were always out of state, so it was a first. She was a gracious hostess.
The kids all managed to stay on good terms with one another. No major scuffles, which was also a first. The only "blow out" of the day was an air mattress. Evidently the four stooges thought that skiing down an air mattress incline from a metal dog kennel was a good idea. We still do not know who's brainchild that was.
The crab of the day award goes to my aunt's dog Rudy. He is still adjusting to the kids and having all these people/dogs invade his home. He only bit one person, my sister. Oh and he gave my nephew a nip on the behind. He then spent the rest of the day in the gulag.
My grandmother also joined us. She is 93 and is in an assisted living apartment here in the Cities. I am so thankful we were able to share the day with her. I now have the memory of Gigi drinking mimosas at 10 a.m. and wanting another.
