Thanksgiving was quiet for us. Hubby is deployed, my daughter had to work so it was just me and Kamalani. It was chilly outside and thankfully, the sun was out. She could hear the neighbor children playing outside so she wanted to go outside too. After dressing her in layers of clothes, I took her out back and played ball with her until the sun started setting behind a small hill behind our house. She had enough playtime to exert her energy and when she came into the house, she laid on the hali’i, covered herself with her faux mink blanket and fell asleep watching PBS Kids.

We got a real treat though because hubby called us lastnight and again this morning so we all got to wish him Happy Thanksgiving!
