Weekend at the Aunts

I have been trying to post Bette's pictures for two weeks but the system is not cooperating with me. So I will work on that part later.
Thanksgiving was wonderful!  Karli made it up as well as Auntie Bette and Auntie Doris.  Gert came along as well and we stuff ourselves silly at Grandpa Jim's.  Then Auntie Bette and Auntie Doris took off with the kids for a two night stay at Auntie Doris's.  When they left GM it was over 40 degrees and the sun was shining.  By Silver Bay it was raining and the last hour of the drive Doris drove 40 mph because it had turned to snow.  Ish!  But they made it just fine.  The kids immediately ate some pie leftovers and worked on puzzles and watched cartoons.  I am not sure of all the stories of the party at the Aunt's but I do know the kids shoveled off the driveway and sidewalk (and got paid for it, really not necessary but they sure do appreciate it).  There was an incident with the dogs at 4 in the morning wanting some breakfast or a treat and jumping on the kids bed(apparently the aunts heard just a faint bark and went back to sleep).  Bowling was pretty fun.  Kaj just bowled a couple of times and Brandi bowled against some other kids.  Oh and Kaj told Auntie Bette no old people were allowed on the bed!  Brandi scoulded him and they decided a more appropriate term might be "No O.P.s on the bed"  I don't know that it is any better but the kids got a kick out of it.  If there are any other stories I should add to this I most certainly will as I find them out.  Maybe I should have Brandi post her thoughts about the time.  The kids had a great time and want to do it again so I would say that is a success!  The Aunts want to do it again to, although this time I didn't hear about wanting to make it any longer! : )
