So Much to be Thankful for - Thanksgiving 2017

It's another Sunday night here and I am in the midst of decorating the Christmas trees.
It's been fantastic Thanksgiving.  We celebrated for four days!
This was the year that Courtney, Paul, and the girls spend it with us, so that makes it very nice.
We have gone to Alissa and Nathan's the last few years, but this year, Alissa and Courtney decided we should have it up here.
Alissa joined us while Nathan stayed down in Bloomington to spend it with his dad.
Everyone arrived on Wednesday evening.
We all went out to Sprecher's for the first time, it has just opened here in Watertown.
What a fun place.
The food was great, the beer was great and our service was great, too.
A perfect trifecta.


On Thursday we made our turkey and the other good stuff.
We watched Troop Beverly Hills and made some slime.
It was a great, fun day.
Mallory stopped by after dinner and we all hung around in the basement.

On Friday, we went to the cemetery to put Christmas stuff on the graves and say hello to all the loved ones there, who actually aren't really there, but you know what I mean.
It was a beautiful 62.
Alissa left on Friday after lunch.
The rest of us, including mom, went to see the movie Wonder.
Such a fantastic movie.
We all loved it.
Came home and watch School of Rock to prepare us to the play we will be seeing tomorrow with the girls.
We loved the movie.

On Saturday we left around noon for the play which was at the marcus center in Milwaukee.
It was a broadway musical and so cool!



We ate at Fuddruckers and then surprised the girls with our annual trip through the lights.
It was a bit earlier than we usually go, but this weekend just worked out best for us.
The girls were so excited.
Tiz did live videos out the sunroof and Soli drove on John's lap.


We enjoyed the trains, streets of Bethlehem, and hot chocolate as we always do!
It was a perfectly wonderful day.

Today we went to church and Courtney and Paul came from their night out to pick up the girls and take them home.
I am so thankful for all that I have!
Now back to tree decorating!
