It's time to head back to Raleigh. Bennett's glad she can sleep and leave the driving to her daddy. She told us that she can't wait until Christmas!

A Granddaughter and a Grandpuppy

Sorry, Moose. This food is for Bennett. Yours is in the kitchen.

Bennett had her first piano lesson while visiting for Thanksgiving; she also enjoyed her first Thanksgiving turkey.

Thanksgiving Dinner and Nap

We enjoyed having Grandma and Papa Ward join us for Thanksgiving dinner as well as Polly Way, our neighbor from Twin Lane. And of course, Leigh Anna, Daniel, Danielle and Bennett were with us too! Bennett enjoyed a nap after dinner with Poppy!
