Wow, what a great Thanksgiving weekend we had! It was so nice to have a 4 day weekend to just spend time with each other and to SLEEP IN!! Thanksgiving Day we spent the morning watching the Ronald McDonald Parade hoping to spot a local marching band that was marching the parade. We never did see them, but we still enjoyed watching the parade just the same. We enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving feast at my mom and dad's with my whole family. I always enjoy visiting with my sisters and their spouses/significant others and seeing my nephews. The kids played downstairs almost the whole day and it was such a beautiful day that they even enjoyed some time outside! The older girls ended up going with Em and John to see the Muppet movie and having a sleepover at their house.
Saturday we enjoyed the annual Round Lake Fish House Parade as part of their Winterfest celebration. It was quite chilly so Haidyn stayed with Mom but the older girls and I went to watch Eric and Dad march for the Legion. I stayed in the car with the heater on, but the girls watched from the sidelines so they could catch the candy! Our good friends, Dana and Dave Sniadak, were also in town so they sat and watched the parade with me in the warm Durango. That evening Eric and I enjoyed a night out with Dave and Dana. We had a wonderful supper followed by some drinks at the local bars. It was a fairly early night for us though and we were home by 11:15.
Sunday Mallory woke up with a fever and sore throat so her and Eric stayed home from church. After church Isabella was begging to put up the Christmas tree so that's what we spent our afternoon doing.
I am sad to see the Thanksgiving weekend over and having to go back to work. I really enjoyed my time off and the time spent with the ones I hold dearest to my heart. But soon the Christmas holiday will be upon us and it'll be even more time off and more time with my loved ones. Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving as well!!
