Thankfully blessed

  Thanksgiving 2008. It was a rather a quiet one with just the five of us-Jim, Terry, Andrew, Victoria and Jenna; and of course Salem and Bella who was a great floor cleaner. 

   I really missed Grandma and Granddad this year. This is the first year in many, many Thanksgivings that Grandma was not here to either make the dinner or give me major advice on it. But the girls were a huge help with the cooking. They are getting to be really good in the kitchen and like to cook and bake.

  Alex is at his crash pad in New York City on standby or maybe flying somewhere.

  Dinner is over and Andrew is practicing being married by taking a nap on the couch after several platefuls of food. We are having pie with some friends at 4 and plan to play some games. Happy Thanksgiving!

Bella in Maryland

Well we took Bella to Kate's house for the first time and we thought we would never see Bella again she "joked" about dog napping her. I'm joking. Sabrina and Sarah loved her along with Kate. Everybody loved Bella. Bella also loved the boat she had a good time standing at the front of the boat. we got her a little blue life jacket from West Marine. She didn't mind the cold one bit.

Dog

Guess what I, VICTORIA ANNABLE GOT A DOG!!!!!!!!! Her name is Bella she is 5 years old, 20 lbs. and a papillion-mix breed. I love her so incredible much she is kind of hyper, but she loves long car rides!! We didn't tell dad about her so when he came home his jaw dropped to the floor. She is black and white and she has the cutest ears and tail. She has the biggest, most adorable eyes and she is the worlds best dog.

Halloween

On Halloween my friend Hannah came over and had a sleepover. Our original plan was to go around the neighborhood (not very far) but mom invited her friend and children over to trick or treat so she wanted to stay home and wait for them. Hannah, Jenna, and I went trick or treating by ourselves. Mom was going to meet up with us later but her friend never came.

We got to go trick or treating by ourselves. We went up our street and then on Middle Road and in the new neighborhood. We got lots of candy!! At our sleepover that night we ate almost all of our candy! I didn't want to but Jenna and Hannah went on ahead and ate it all. We stayed up all night. Hannah fell asleep at 3:00 and Jenna konked out at 4:30 and I didn't go to bed until 5:30.

We had a fun Halloween!!!!!!
