Papa Louie Came to Town - Thanksgiving 2010

We were so excited to have Dad (Grandpa Lou) come spend several days with us for Thanksgiving this year!  I'm frustrated that I was so busy that I forgot about taking pictures of him.  Here are a few that some wonderful person captured of our time together.

Every year we get emotional sharing what we are grateful for.  I decided to lighten it up and spare everyone by playing a game instead.  We each had to say something we were grateful for starting from A to Z as we went around the table - and repeat what everyone had said before us.  It was a lot of fun!



Bob and Barbara and Dad "chillin'" after the big meal.



See, Michael, I'm not the only one who talks with my hands!!



Looks like Robby was trying to coordinate his hair with the curly kale he was chopping.



Scott dishing up his famous homemade pumpkin pie - an annual tradition.



Dad and I enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing day on Monday after all the chaos had calmed down.  We spent the morning shopping for his Christmas gifts from us.  Be on the lookout for some stylin' new outfits.  Then we went for a walk along the ocean at the  Montage in Laguna Beach.  We spent a good hour on this bench enjoying the sun and the waves.  We enjoyed a meal at La Sirena Grill and then headed off to a movie at the new San Juan Capistrano theatres.  It was a perfect day!


Thanks for coming to visit Dad.  We all thoroughly enjoyed having you here.

Grandpa has been wearing some pretty sharp looking clothes since he got back. Sounds like you guys had a great time, but we were sure glad to have him home. It just isn't the same here without him!
