Ok, so I had a big surprise today. We had already agreed that we weren’t going to fly Nick home for Thanksgiving this year. Last year we realized that as soon as he got home, he had to turn around and fly back for Christmas and New Year’s. Nick had no problem with this and made plans to cook Thanksgiving with Ashley, her mom and grandma. Well, this is how the story was told to me at least, and I fell for it hook, line and sinker.
I come walking thru a locked front door today (it’s rarely locked) to find Danny reclined. Wow, he’s not even getting up to greet me. The nerve. I took a further look, and there is Nick laying down on the couch, so I can’t see him at first glance. What? Nick? No way! Way!
Danny had decided about 6 weeks ago that he needed to boy to be here with his family, and they’ve been plotting ever since. The key is that they never told Cody, Lani or Luke, so there was no one to spoil the surprise. The only ones who new were Pam and Willie, and Dick and Kay – and they’d never tell me. Not even Diane, Keith or TJ know – and they won’t until Thanksgiving Day unless they peek into our blog.
Special thanks to Ashley for graciously giving up Nick for the holiday. Seems as if Danny even called and cleared it with her before he made plans. Now that ’s a good guy!
Thanks for my surprise Danny and Nick – and a very happy Thanksgiving to you all.
