Thanksgiving in Corning
˛
|
November 2005
Our first morning at Nana
& Papa's house we had a belated birthday breakfast for Nana!
Mummy
brought special Martin Family Birthday Coffee Cake all the way from
Aspen!
We LOVE
having Papa around to play and share favorite books with!
|
 |
But we
still kept looking out the windows all day on Tuesday, waiting for
Uncle Todd to arrive from NYC! |
|
 |
|
 |
We like playing airplane. We get comfy
in our First Class seats, with our drinks and our books and our
laptop computers. (Jeremy has an in-flight phone at his seat). |
|
 |
there is always
an in-flight snack
of pretzels! |
|
During
our long flights, we spend a lot of time working on our laptop
computers... |
 |
JUST
LIKE DADDY! |
 |
|
|
Even though Mummy doesn't like us checking our emails
at meal times,
sometimes we still do...
|
|
 |
JUST
LIKE DADDY! |
 |
|
 |
We do occasionally power-down our computers and head
out into the snow. We like making Giant Footsteps in the snow! |
|
 |
|
We braved the winter weather to head off to our
atelier (at the children's drop-in center in the public library) to
work on our Art. |
|
 |
We proudly brought the best of our artwork home
for Nana! |
|
|
When we're not busy at
our offices... |
 |
|
In the
afternoon the Martin boys watched the movie OLIVER for the 100th
time... |
|
 |
Then
Alex put on a special Thanksgiving outfit of his very own
creation... |
|
 |
 |
We made special Thanksgiving center-pieces with Mary Paula in
school. (We think that Nana's turkeys are a bit jealous of our
turkeys!) |
|
|
 |
Papa
helped us climb up into our seats for dinner. |
|
|
 |
YUMMY! |
We
toasted our special Thanksgiving. It is
so nice to all be together. That
makes us Very happy. CHEERS!
|
|
 |
What a great Thanksgiving!
|
|
When
we're at Nana & Papa's house, Alex is in charge of the refrigerator
magnets... |
 |
We love
going shopping at Wegman's Grocery Store with Nana!
(we love
doing anything with Nana)
It is
always fun to visit the Corning Aquarium with Uncle Todd.
|
 |
It is a
smaller the aquarium in Denver,
but we
still like it. |
|
(Yankee
Bear thinks it is the lobster tank at Wegman's, but he didn't say so.)
|
Alex helped Mummy with unloading the shopping cart
after a successful visit to Wegman's! |
|
 |
|
 |
Ambassador Jeremy likes introducing his Chargé d'Affairs, the Honorable Yankee Bear, to visiting
dignitaries who stop by Nana & Papa's house for a visit. |
|
|
Daddy's high school friends Mark & Kathy Malmendier
stopped by to visit. Mark taught Jeremy a funny dance from the 1970's...
|
|
 |
Disco
Jeremy! |
 |
|
Nana & Papa's friend Teresa Rossetti brought us Santa
hats... |
|
 |
|
|
|
One night as we were getting ready
for bed Jeremy said to Daddy:
"Thank you for bringing me on the
airplane to see
Nana &
Papa."
We have the best of times in Corning! |
 |
Much, much too soon it was
time for us to leave Corning for the long trip home to Aspen.
But before we left there
was still much fun to be had!
On Friday afternoon we
bundled up warm and headed down to Centerway Square for
some pre-Christmas
festivities. Mark & Kathy came along, and we treated them to
shakemilks at the Old
World Café.
While we waited for our
chocolate and strawyberry shakemilks to arrive, Jeremy entertained
us with his patented
"scary face"...
(even though everyone
pretended to be frightened, they knew is was just lovable Jeremy)
We love sharing sips of
shake with Mummy...
It was a cold night in the
Square, but lots of fun things were happening.
we watched & danced to a
musical show on the stage...
 
At one point Alex looked
up at the November night sky and remarked that "the stars
look like butterflies."
We even got to see Santa
in his workshop!
We were very sad to leave
Nana & Papa and Uncle Todd.
But we know we'll see them
very soon, so that cheered us up a bit.
When we got to Denver,
Jeremy said thank-you and goodnight to everything he
saw, including the
escalators and elevators, culminating with thanking the airplane
which brought us home. He
said, with his very best manners: "Thank you airplane for
coming on the airplane
with me."
