Here they are! All my babies home at one time except for SIL Jerry (husband and father to Emma still in Canada.)
Boy Wonder had not been home in three years so of course we had to kill the fatted pizza at his return. Suzy and Tim join us Tuesday afternoon after a brief visit with friends in Tennessee.
Tuesday night we ate at Cracker Barrel (family favorite and not available in New York or Canada). Oldest daughter and Emma love that you can eat breakfast at any time of the day there. It's also fun to look around while you wait for a table. No one went away hungry!
We were able to borrow a pop-up camper from a friend so it made for an extra bedroom in our drive-way. It worked pretty well till the temperatures dropped and the heaters tripped the breaker. I had some cold kids the next morning!
All of caught a "bug" of some kind, at various times, so some were well when other were feeling bad. Becky and Tim with the help of good ole Dad came through with the Thanksgiving Feast. Mr. Wonderful did the bird and Tim and Becky did all the side dishes. It was a wonderful feast made better by having every one home.
Auntie Suzy made Emma an Indian outfit to celebrate the day. She even made a head dress with feathers and braids.
Emma seemed to enjoy being the center of attention and also got two board books for Thanksgiving. One us called the Five Silly Turkeys and the other was about The first Thanksgiving.
Uncle Andy had to leave Friday afternoon so immediately after
our Thanksgiving feast the house was decorated for Christmas. The girls and Tim put up the tress and some decorations to make the house look very festive. Christmas came early at our house. It was nice to share the celebration with family and Emma doesn't know one day from another right now.
This is one of Boy Wonder's gifts....."A Man, A Can and Microwave!" He tends to eat out most meals so this is a cook
book for men.
More later....all the chicks have left the nest except for Becky and Emma and they leave really early tomorrow morning. This will be one sad daisy after everyone has left the patch.

This is one of my beautiful daughters (Suzy) and her handsome hubby ( Tim) standing in front of Niagara Falls. A favorite place for honeymooners and vacations!
Niagara Falls is a set of massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River in eastern North America, on the border between Canada and the United States. Niagara Falls comprises three separate waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls (Canadian Falls), the American Falls, and the smaller, adjacent Bridal Veil Falls.

Saturday's Photo Hunt was on "Dreamin" I posted the picture below of my two youngest at a Mets game. I said a little bit about what how much my son enjoys baseball and is a huge Mets fan. Today he sent me a post on baseball and why he feels so passionately about the game. So here is an excerpt on baseball by "the self proclaimed #1 Mets fan."
"Baseball players are a rare breed...they accept that they will ALWAYS fail. Even the very best players only hits the ball 3 out of 10 times
Only ONE player has actually hit the ball 56 consecutive games,(not times, but games.) In my life i've failed countless times, but just like a baseball player, I smile each and everytime I walk back to the dugout .
The belief that you'll always have another at bat, another chance, another game is inspiring to me...some days you'll go on a hitting streak, some days you'll strike out every time, but you keep trying no matter what.
The best players in baseball get walked when they come up to bat, the best pitchers only pitch one every four games. No player can hit the ball every time. You have to rely on your team mates to help pull you through your mistakes, so that hopefully in the end all of you will win.
Being a Mets fan i've learned to enjoy the hard times, the good times, and the times where the team make you cry. The trick is you never let the good take over your thoughts just as you don't allow the negative to spiral you down...you just keep the hope and keep believin".

Yesterday was our boy Tim's birthday. He married our daughter 7 years ago, but fits so perfectly in our family that he truly is our boy. Did I say boy.....Tim is a man.
He adores our daughter and they truly compliment and bring out the best in one another.
He is a hard worker, a good provider, friend, and tireless traveling companion.
We are truly blessed to have him in our family and we adore him!

This is a sweet stop if you have to wait for a table at Serendipity's. It's right down the street and features all kind of candy. One of my daughters loves to take pictures of her feet so we couldn't resist a shot of all of our feet on this "Sweet Spot" on the floor.
Tim and Suzy are sitting on the peppermint stools at the kids "Candy Bar". Mr. Wonderful and I couldn't resist the colorful window display capturing this remarkable store.
Suzy loves to collect Pez despensers and started her collection in high school. Her collection is way over 200 now and this display was on the wall at Dylan's.
We loved the visit through the "penny candy" section of old favorites...candy that is hard to find now and definitely cost way more than a penny.
Another interesting feature was candy selection of famous actors. Our son, loves circus peanuts ( the orange marshmellow variety) so does Michael J. Fox. He was intriqued by that sweet fact.
This store has it all. Jelly Beans, M&M's, all flavors, all colors. We were tempted to buy our Canadian daughter a "Dixie Chick" tee-shirt featuring the Rebel Flag and a marshmellow Peep.
We did buy some special Belgium chocolate bars for a special friend celebrating a birthday and watching our animals while we gone. Now if we can just stay out of them till we get home.

We spent Friday in New York City. It was a gorgeous day and we went to Central Park. The big picture is my son (Boy Wonder), my daughter (Baby Girl), and son-in-law. The top picture is in a great candy store, the middle picture is taken by Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, bottom picture is Boy Wonder listening to a story told by statue of Hans Christian Anderson.
