Thursday November 24

Happy Thanksgiving!

It has been a somewhat crazy day today.

Elsie woke up with no fever, but she still had a sore throat and her voice is very rough :(

But she definitely had more energy and was up off the couch.

I got to work finishing up the pies and we also had a big breakfast this morning with pancakes, bacon and eggs.

After cleanup they all sat down and watched Ghostbusters on VidAngel.

And I finished my food prep.

We had planned to go to the Morgans house about 2.

But Stacia called me and one of our friends daughters had a bad accident and we went and visited her at the hospital.

Their 5 year old fell from a two story balcony.

Breaking both arms and giving her three skull fractures and a broken nose, along with a bad concussion.

So heart breaking!

But also so miraculous that there is no brain swelling and that there was no damage to the neck or spine the way she fell.

To top it of, it is our friends birthday today!

Our prayers are with their little girl and family.

Her outlook is very good and that is great news!

When we came home, the big girls headed to the Morgans while we got the little ones ready to go.

We headed over there and had snacks and games and just hung out and talked while the rest of the food was prepared.

We ate about 5 and it was so very yummy!!!!!!

We all got way too full!

Elsie ate good.

She hasn't had much for the last few days!

So that was good.

Before dinner, Port and Cannon came inside from being outside and Port's eyes were all red and swollen!!!!

We have no idea why or what happened.

Possibly from their cat, but we have cats and Port is always handling them!

So that doesn't make sense!

Anyway, we got him some allergy stuff.

But the whole night he kept asking Brent to go home.

And Elsie was kind of going downhill....I think being tired and she needed some more ibuprofen for her throat.

Sp after pie, dad took the little ones home.

I stayed with the big girls.

They sang while we did puzzles and games.

Then after helping to clean up, I went home and the big girls are off with Sydney, Carley and very to do some black Friday shopping.

Good luck girls!

I think I will need to take Elsie in to the DR tomorrow because she was 103.2 this evening :(

And if Port is still swollen up, I should take him too.

Bummer!

Prepping the turkey

Trying some new hairstyles on Madi!!!!
