Thoughts of thanks

Happy Thanksgiving 2014!  We spent Thursday in Shelbyville, first at Angie's for a huge meal, then to Rosemary's for three desserts!  Zoe and Niki are always welcome in Shelbyville, and they go nuts with excitement as we drive down Angie's neighborhood toward their home.
Mom was busy preparing for her upcoming European trip so she said she wouldn't be able to see us this holiday weekend, so Steven drove to Morehead with Angie on Friday and spent time with his dad and Linda.

I made a turkey.

And photobombed Elizabeth.

We all thought of Laura on her birthday.  We are making sugar cookies in her honor - we don't know if she likes them at all, but her birthday seemed like a great excuse to make them!

The most patient one in the family

Zoe and Niki get one chicken rawhide each day, after they finish eating dinner.  They both love them, especially Zoe, who looks forward to hers as much as the rest of us look forward to dessert.  Whenever she is in the kitchen, Zoe sits patiently by the pantry door.  Not moving.

Sometimes she waits so long she gets super tired and has to lay down.

Sometimes she moves closer and even puts her nose against the door.










Sometimes she moves away and curls up so we can get into the pantry.

 

Eventually the pantry is opened!  There it is, the big red bag on top!

 Zoe is the first one ready!

 

Eventually Niki figures it out as well!

Replay the scene tomorrow.
