"Giving Thanks...2007," by Sparkle

Dear Friends,
Although the family has been through a difficult time, we were all looking forward to spending Thanksgiving and Mama's birthday together...here I am on the morning Mama and I were to leave...

We took Mr. Greyhound along with Great-Uncle Jeff...I was so happy to see Grammy & Gramps! Here I am with my Gramps!!!

On our second day, I was dressed casually, but oh!, so adorably...

On Thanksgiving Day, we had some special guests from Uncle Football's family - his sister Joanne and niece Karen,

...there was Jack and Uncle Football...

...and Great Uncle Jeff with Cousin Molly:

...and let me tell you my belly was FULLZY-WOOLZY!

Now, Mama tells me that turkey has something called "tryptophan" which makes you sleepy...ya THINK???

Mama and AUntie Clucker did a good clean-up job...then it was time to relax. Next up was Mama's BIRTHDAY!!! I thought she deserved to start her day with a kiss!

Of course I also took an opportunity to play with Gramps...

Of course I was dressed as mama's PRESENT!!!

We went to this REALLY nice restaurant...here's some photos...here's auntie clucker and uncle football:

Here's mama and Gramps:

And my GRAMMY!!!

Mama took a picture of us outside - it was COLD!!!

Then it was time for presents and cake and stuff...
Here's mama with Great-Uncle Jeff:

Mama's cake was YUMMY:

ANd she blew out ALL her candles!

By the way, I should mention that Grammy did NOT have a steak ready for me - can you IMAGINE?

And at night we all snuggled in the little den and watched TV...here I am in my favorite position:

So all in all, we had a lovely time...I know Uncle Harvey was watching us from Heaven...we all miss him a lot...so I hope you're all grateful for your many blessings...

Love, SParkle
