Black Friday - Day After Thanksgiving with Justin and Kilee

Justin and Kilee came to see Nana Joy and for Poppy's Fried Fish dinner, along with Cathy, Werner and cousin Carolyn.
The food was good, homemade cole slaw and tartar sauce (made by Joy), fish and hush puppies, plus canned baked beans. We had my homemade apple pie and leftover banana pudding with vanilla ice cream. Carolyn brought a homemade pecan cheesecake pie which was delicious! She also brought a store-bought pie in case her homemade wasn't very tasty - but her's was so good! She also brought champagne and cranberry juice for our annual "poinsettia" drinks, but we were WAY TOO FULL to drink after dinner! And Cathy and Werner brought us a nice red wine, very thankful for these sweet gifts. Just need to have some time to drink when we are not STUFFED with food!
Ginger got lots of attention!

Carolyn arrived just as we began dinner, so missed her in this photo:

We did a repeat of 2016's day after Thanksgiving with Kilee and Alyzabeth with Ginger. Ginger was only 5 months old and now she's 17 months old! She's very shaggy as she needs to go to the groomers! I made a collage and will post a few of the individual pictures.

Ginger loved the attention:

AA decided to try taking photos just as Kilee was sneaking up the stairs behind us. The girls had some fun together, no acting stand-offish or reserved, good seeing them relax and be silly together. Kilee is in 8th grade, so she did well to hang out with us and be cool. She also performed a dance for us to the song "Let it snow". She's a good dancer and hopes to continue with it through to college.

No black Friday shopping, just a wonderful day with family!
