This year for Thanksgiving we were in Danville and had a great time. Everyone was there except the Fishers who were visiting John's mom in South Carolina. My dad did all the cooking and it was quite a feast.
Mom made sure the girls were included and they had their own decorated Thanksgiving table complete with art projects.
This was Jack's first year of getting to eat a real Thanksgiving dinner and he couldn't have been happier.... all that turkey made for good sleeping!!
The dinner itself lasted about 20 minutes.. with 4 kids under 3 no more long leisurely dinners, but we did still manage to get in our Thanksgiving tradition of all going around the table and saying what we are thankful for. The Dunns had a very touching moment during this part as they eagerly await Baby Dunn.
We decided to make it an extended weekend so we stayed out there until Saturday along with the Brinkers... yes I know they only live 15 minutes away but isn't it more fun when everyone stays together?? On Friday after catching a quick movie, Aaron and Mark helped my Dad hang the Christmas lights outside. The girls wanted a front row seat for all the action..
The lights turned into quite a project and everyone, including Jack got in on the action.
After the lights were all hung.. Gram (cruise director) decided it was time for a "night walk" in the red wagon.
There was never a dull moment between the outside, the art projects, etc..
Gram and Poppo made it a wonderful weekend for everyone and we even got to sneak out for a little double date with the Brinkers.
