- OUR THANKSGIVING DAY -

well, boy oh boy, did it start out rough - last night kiara woke up complaining that she'd a sore throat & her chest hurt when she'd breathe - they all 3 got up this morning & i went ahead & took them into the ER as nothing else was open & had them checked out since they're together all the time - they said kiara had strep & so he gave them all 3 antibiotics (ruby & karleigh just as a precaution)
`
i then had mom to call my brother aaron/sharon & their family (megan 5 & katie 3), then i called 'papa' kyle/angela & their family (sanite 8, noah 5 & maddie 3) as they were all coming for thanksgiving - angela said they still wanted to come since strep was going around everywhere, they more than likely had already been exposed by someone else & had been looking so forward to getting together with all of us for weeks - aaron said they didn't know what to do as he does taxidermy & this' his busy season & he couldn't afford to get sick - he knew that with megan being in kindergarten, it's a good possibility that she's already been exposed as well, but we didn't want to take the chance - no one really wanted to make the decision, so i finally called aaron & suggested that his family go ahead & go to dad/mom's house at noon (when we were all supposed to be there) & have thanksgiving with them - then, whenever they left, we'd all (us & caswells) would head over & spend the rest of the day with them - he apparently thought that sounded good as that's what we did - i hated not being able to spend the day with them as we'd all looked so forward to it, but we didn't want him to get strep & then 'wonder' if he got it from kiara (that would not have been good at all!) - dad/mom said 'round 1' was great as was 'round 2' when we got there so all in all i think everyone enjoyed themselves - dad was thrilled at the way we did it as he got to eat 2 full thanksgiving meals!!! - here's some pictures from the day (at least during 'round 2')
