Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year.  It wasn't a big crowd, but we had a nice time.  The "kids" made gingerbread houses and enjoyed playing with Jeremy.    Andy had to work the day after Thanksgiving, so Jeremy drove me and the kids up to Chicago.  We spent the day/night there and then Andy drove up on Sat morning.   The plan was to go to Legoland Discovery Zone, but Erin came down with the flu while we were in Chicago.  So everyone went except me and Erin, and then when they got back we just packed up and went home.  Eventually everyone got sick (except Andy!), so we had a long two weeks of functioning on survival mode.  :)  Thankfully we are all feeling better in time for Christmas.

A week or so ago we got 7 inches of snow.  We were so thankful it came on a Saturday so we had time to shovel the driveway.  We used all the snow from the drive and made a fort for the boys.  The snow was perfect for snowballs and building.  So the boys had a blast playing outside.  Erin went out a little, but she's still young enough that it's not her idea of fun yet.  :)
