Day Two Hundred and Eighty Three and Counting...

Today was a grandparent- and fun-filled day!  Oma and Opa came over in the morning and we all went to La Bella Vita for a Thanksgiving brunch - and to celebrate Jeremy and Grace's birthdays!  Brunch was, of course, just delicious, and to top it off I started with pumpkin soup and finished with pumpkin cheesecake!
Simply divine.
Notice Jeremy's rather happy smile?  Yep, he drank a lot of coffee... and he was really pleased about it!
Yesterday, I dug up a patch of dirt along the fence for our first flower garden.  Today, my dad (Opa) brought some plants with him that he had divided from his own: Seedums, Engleman Ivy, Bleeding Heart, Yellow Iris, Trumpet Flower, and some Hens and Chicks.  Grace was very helpful, spreading compost about for us, and then watering everything for us!
So excited to have our very first garden!
Thanks, Dad!

Much of the remainder of the afternoon was spent relaxing in the yard.  The girls made the most of having Oma and Opa all to themselves!  There were lots of tickles and giggles, cuddles and love! 
What a terrific day!  Family, food and fun!
