Family Thanksgiving

Last night was a really good night where my parents and only one of my brothers showed up for supper. Which was nice. Especially since Little B and his brother R came over to play for awhile yesterday afternoon. They had actually came over to visit our new next door neighbours with their parents but ended up at our house for awhile. Hehe. It was funny on Saturday when Hubby announced that our new neighbours were moving in the kids immediately yelled "They have a dog!" So of course I had to go make sure they weren't making pests of themselves.

Our new neighbours seem really nice and of course are from Newfoundland which is were Little B and his family are from hence their visiting our neighbours yesterday. So after my brother and parents left I ended up chatting with everyone over the back fence until pretty late. I had only meant to go out and check if the garage had been locked but was apparently feeling more social than I thought. Which was alright even Hubby came out and talked awhile.

I also got my butt handed to me by my Mom in our Scrabble games. I showed her the rules for Speed Scrabble but I don't think she'll be interested in playing it. She likes to think about her words before playing. Which is okay by me. I like both versions and I know my Mom was happy to play last night. She kept saying that she hadn't had been able to play since the last time we did which was last Christmas. Which means that she's bored and wants more of a social life in my opinion. Unfortunately I don't know how to help her in that regard. So I think in the coming season of festivities I will try to get her to sit back and play more games. After all I think she deserves it.
