The boys with Grandpa Alden

William worked on Thanksgiving, so the boys and I went to Aunt Judy & Uncle Mikes (Which we have done every year except for 2 years ago when Logan, William and I went to Mexico.)
The fire station planned on serving dinner in the evening, and this was early afternoon, so we were able to do both.

This is William's dad. He recently had heart surgery and was not able to get out much afterwards (around the time Liam was born.) He's out, and about now...but now Grandma Alden has been in the hospital. Since Grandma Alden was in the hospital, and William was working, my father-in-law came to Thanksgiving with my family. He has known everyone there for over 15 years, so he knew he was in good company! He was happy to see the boys again, and we were so glad he made a speedy recovery and was able to join us.

During Grace, Uncle Mike said a special prayer thanking God that Grandpa Alden was able to be with us among family and friends. He also added that next year, hopefully, Grandma Alden will be able to jon us. He included another prayer for Liam (our "miracle baby!!") to which Liam let out a loud vocal blurb agreeing! He also prayed for William to be safe at work tonight as well as my Step Father and brother as they are firfighters also. Uncle Mike says grace every year and always manages to jerk up a few tears! Amen for Thanksgiving!!!
