Veteran's Day 2014

So, Laurel Ridge has a Thanksgiving Day luncheon on Veteran's Day each year.  Bill was able to go....we learned from last year that we didn't like the food.....at....all.  So we took the opportunity to just bring Addi some lunch!  She was happy with that!

You would have thought that today was Addison's birthday with how excited she was.  She was SO excited about Veteran's Day!  Two days before she pulled me aside and said "Mom we only have two days left....I have to make Daddy a card!"  So on Monday when Bill picked her up at Spanish she gave him options.  "You have to go to bed before 7:30 or you can go up to the attic."  We have never even been in the attic!  But she needed to make a card!  She was able to do that in the craft room while Daddy watched TV.  It worked out and he didn't have to go to the attic.  Then in the morning she was waking Bill up with his card at around 6:30 or so. Then she proceeded to make him breakfast in bed.  Bill didn't want toast so it was fruit on a plate!

She also made a card for Great Grandpa and wanted to send it to him on a balloon.  She is such a thoughtful little girl.


Our Favorite Veteran with his adorable, patriotic, little girl!  




It was a beautiful day so Bill smoked some ribs...which made us all happy!  It was a good day!!! 

I am forever grateful for all the families who have made the ultimate sacrifice and for the families who are trying to get through a deployment.  I remember that the day that made me cry the most when Bill was on deployment wasn't my birthday it was Veteran's day.  So grateful that he is home with us!
