This year we weren't able to travel since I was too close to my due date. So, for the first time in my life, I was not in Ohio for Thanksgiving. We had a good reason for not traveling, so it was easier to stay home. It was actually really nice to have the week off from work and be home. We were able to get some odds and ends done around the house which was nice. I spent the week getting the boys' summer clothes put away and their winter clothes out. I also got Charlie's clothes out and washed up and put away.
I made a mini-Thanksgiving dinner. We didn't have a huge meal, but had enough traditional dishes for it to feel like Thanksgiving.
John ended up running a fever pretty much the whole day, so it was nice to be at home. I think it may have been a reaction to the flu mist vaccine that he got earlier in the week. He didn't have any other symptoms and was back to normal by Friday.
I always go Black Friday shopping with my family, so I hated to miss that. I met a friend at JCPenney here in town and we did some shopping. I also went to Walmart and Walgreens. I went later in the day so the crowds weren't bad at all. Friday evening we started decorating the house for Christmas. The boys were so excited to help! We finished up all the decorating on Saturday. The boys love the trees and all of the decorations.
Here are some pictures of Thanksgiving day. I will post some pictures of the boys decorating later.
