Gobble, Gobble

We had a pretty good Thanksgiving.  It was nice having a few days off of work and the girls being home from school.  Thanksgiving Day we went to my parents' house for lunch.  My whole immediate family was there as well as my grandmother.  The food was fabulous, as usual, and the company was just as good.  That night we had surprise visitors when my aunt and uncle and my cousin and her family showed up.  It was so nice to see them!!  The girls had fun playing with my cousin's kids, Hannah and Mitchell, and I enjoyed visiting with Kenny, Julie, Marc and Michele!  Love you guys!! 

The next day I ended up taking Mallory to the doctor because she was coughing and running a low temp like she did the last time she had pneumonia and my suspicions were right.  The doctor now thinks it may be asthma related so we go back for a recheck in 10 days and then will possibly be sent to a pulmunologist for the asthma.  Another specialist we have to endure but another reason why she keeps getting pneumonia was answered.  Mallory's cough improved with the nebs and she did not run a fever for the rest of the weekend.  She was sent back to school today with instructions to not run or overdo it at school. 

The doctor did not let Mallory go to Skylar Spessard's birthday party for fear that Mallory may catch a virus from the other kids so Isabella got to go alone.  She had a ball!!  And we are so appreciative of the Spessards for letting her tag along.  They didn't get home until 10:30!!  Needless to say, Isabella was asleep in the chair on Saturday by 7:00. 

Since Mallory couldn't go to the birthday party we did let her venture out, mask included, on Saturday to watch the fish house parade in Round Lake.  Yes, we live in a town full of red necks!  But it was so much fun and neat to see the inside of them when the parade was over. 

We put up our Xmas tree Saturday night.  Now all we need is presents to go under it!

Yesterday, we skipped church since both girls were not feeling well.  The girls and I stayed in our bed watching TV till almost 2:00!!  What a great, lazy Sunday afternoon!
