Oh we had just a wonderful Thanksgiving. I couldn’t have asked for a better Holiday. One of my best friend’s was here in town and we did something that we’ve always wanted to do since we were teenagers.

My husband was home all week which was nice because he’s been on the road a lot this year. School is going well for him but it was time to take a break from that too. He’ll start back up with school at the beginning of the year and get his bachelors degree in the fall.

This year my husband’s brother and his wife hosted Thanksgiving and it was so much fun! My SIL’s family are very warm and happy people. It’s always tons of fun to be around all of them. We also got to spend some time with Don’s grandpa, his wife, and his late brother’s wife.

One thing that always seems to happen every year around Thanksgiving is that Miss Fiona tends to get sick in some-way-shape-or-form. We had to take her to a brand new Urgent Care Clinic here in Chicago.

The folks that work there are so nice and the doctors (all of them) are very personable. I found out that this new Urgent Care Center is going to be open 365 days of the year from 7am-10pm which is really nice AND it’s not far from my house so that’s a plus. Anyway, the little booger Miss Fiona has pink eye. It’s all cleared up now and hopefully (knock on wood) the rest of us won’t get it. So far so good!

December is going to be a very busy time for sure! We have so much going on between birthdays, family get togethers, church services, walk through Bethlehem, and Christmas!

Today I went out and bought some stuff to decorate our house outside for the holidays. We’ve never done that before so I’m excited about it. Let’s see.. I bought some hanging snow balls for the front tree, lights for the front porch, pre-lit wreaths to go around the lights on our garage, and a pre-lit snowman to greet our visitors. We also going to put up a Disney Princess Tree in Fiona’s room and a Disney Tinker Bell Tree in Kinsley’s room.

I don’t know about you guys but I’m having the most awful time trying to order stuff online. Then I realized that it was cyber Monday. Be sure your firewall is running well and if your online orders don’t seem to be taking then you might want to wait a couple of days until cyber Monday (today) has passed.

That’s all I have for now… sorry I haven’t been around. We’ve just been busy. This week should be interesting because I’m going to try and have the house decorated for Christmas before Don gets home on Wednesday! Fun Fun!

PS I think it sucks that the Texas Longhorns lost to Texas A&M and I think it’s great that Callahan got fired from coaching the Nebraska Huskers.
