Courtney, Paul, and Tizita arrived late on Tuesday night so we could be up and ready for a play date with Sinai and Aquila on Wednesday. Courtney and I took the three girls to Flabbergast in Sussex. Our first visit to the place and it will not be our last. The girls had a blast. 
There were huge inflatables with giant slides, big bouncy houses, an arcade area, and an indoor playland. It was a kid's dreamland. Courtney and I could just sit back and let them run and play. 
I think the three of them climbed up this huge slide no less than thirty times. All three of these girls are made up of the same spunk. They are tough little ladies that do not stop. They play hard and they do not whine and complain which made for a nice day for Courtney and I, too.
We did stop for a short lunch break. Flabbergast had a very nice snack bar with pizza, hot dogs, nachos, and all the usual semi healthy treats as well as a few good choices. The girls chose to take the semi healthy route as did Courtney and I. After dropping the twins off at their home, we went to On the Rock for our pre Thanksgiving beers and dinner.
Here are the lovely ladies of Thanksgiving eve.
There was a small dance off between Alissa and Tizita.
Paul ordered the All you can eat chicken and he got all he could eat! Actually this is what he got when he asked for a second helping. It took at least 15 minutes, I think they had to go out and kill the chicken.
Alissa made her big announcement about landing the job in Peoria, so as of December 19, she will be a FIB who still bleeds green and gold. We are so excited for both her and Nathan who can now get on with their lives together. And we look forward to many weekends in Bloomington, a city we learned to love while Alissa was in school there.
Grunkle Kev has stepped into his role nicely. He now takes Tizita to the machines in the bar just like I used to do with Mallory when she was little. Some things never change, you just switch positions in the game.
On Sunday, we all went to church together. Then we enjoyed our bbq pork and beef sandwiches along with Alissa's signature coleslaw, lemon jello which resembles a big bowl of butter, taco dip, and undercooked bars for dessert. It was a meal for which to be thankful!

Tiz loves her some Cheddah!
Note to Natnael: Today we are so thankful for the nannies who are loving on you and taking care of you until your mama, papa, and sister can bring you home. You are always in our thoughts and our hearts. When you get home, we will be taking you to Flabbergast because I have a feeling you will love it! God bless you with good health and happy times until you are home with all of us.
