We had a great Thanksgiving weekend that was action packed, but not too overwhelming. On Thursday we got up early and participated in the annual Turkey Trot 5K in downtown Springfield. Emaline did pretty well in her stroller, but did not want to stay bundled up so that was a bit of a battle.
Next, we went to lunch at Grandma Ginny's house and got some pictures taken in the back yard (pic #1). It was a very nice lunch and a good chance to visit one on one with Ginny.
Then we came home and had a nap which was great for all of us! Jimmy and I hosted all of my siblings and their partners for supper. That made for 10 of us and it was a really nice night.
On Friday we went and got our Christmas tree and put it up. We did a little shopping that day and decorated for Christmas as a family.
On Saturday we loaded up Emaline and the dogs and headed for the lake to celebrate Thanksgiving with Grandma Chris and Grandpa Dave. Luckily it was a great day outside and we got to enjoy some time on the dock (pics #2 & #3). Then we got to watch the final Mizzou game of the season (border war against Kansas) on the big screen which was fun. After a rowdy game (that we finally won) we had a very nice supper and got to see Aunt Helen and Uncle Fred. Needless to say after three days of running Emme was more than a little taxed (pic #4).
Hope everyone had a great holiday and is looking forward to the next!
