Thanksgiving 2024

November is finally over!  It felt like the longest month this year with Thanksgiving so late in the month.  But, now it means we only have 3 weeks of school until Christmas break.  I'll take it!

Normally we put our tree up the first day of Thanksgiving break, but we had already put it up.  So, we spent the day cooking, baking, and cleaning in preparation for hosting Thanksgiving this year.  We went to Bearded Lamb for beer and the food truck (it was a yummy sliders truck!) and took Evan to his guitar lesson in Old Downtown.  We came home and watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles as a family.  Always a pre-Thanksgiving classic!










Thanksgiving we made our usual breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, and cinnamon rolls.  I did the 45 minute Turkey Burn ride on my Peloton and the kids watched the parade.  My parents came over around 1pm and we had some appetizers before dinner at 4:30pm.  Ron arrived around 3:30pm.  Everything was tasty!  We had dessert and played Uno before everyone left at 9.  












And the Lions won!!

Friday I had to be in Troy at 10:30am for a photo shoot.  The roads were horrible as we got some unexpected snow overnight.  Let's just say by the time I got back home around noon, I was exhausted.  I edited photos, decorated the rest of the house for Christmas, and just watched movies all day/evening on the couch with the boys.  We were in the Christmas spirit and the fresh snow helped!





Saturday was a fun day!  We took the boys through the woods in the morning to sled, even though there was only an inch of snow on the ground or so.  Evan went with me to drop off ski equipment to Sun and Snow for their ski swap this upcoming weekend.  Then, we went to lunch at Leo's as a family and I took the boys and their friends to Skyzone to let out some energy.  Finally, we ordered pizza and had Scott's sisters and their families over to plan our Puerto Rico trip.  It was a busy day!








Sunday was a chill day at home.  We wanted to go see Moana 2, but most of the show times were close to sold out.  So, it was just laundry, cleaning, movies, football, puzzles, and all the things inside.  We're back at work and school today with 14 more wake-ups to go before Christmas break!  It was nice to have time home together as a family this past week!
