The kids were off Wed-Sun and Sam was off Thu-Sun. It was the first time I can recall us being together for 4 whole days. Wednesday the kids and I just hung out and relaxed. When Sam got home we headed down to Chralotte where there was supposed to be a big tree-lighting ceremony with entertainment and fireworks at the mall there. It was an amazing 75 degrees, so it was a perfect evening. We found the mall and decided to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. One of the parking attendants directed us to area where the tree was, but we were so overwhelmed by the size of the mall, we didn't make it in time for the event but still had a good evening. Thursday we woke up and watched the Macy's Parade, some of the dog show and the Charlotte Parade. We snacked on salami, crackers, cheese, fruit kabobs and Chex Mix. The kids were a huge help in the kitchen all day! It was a really good feeling =) In between everything else, we spent the day working on a puzzle together and doing making place cards. At 6pm we sat down to a feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, corn, cranberry sauce and rolls. After dinner we all labled some leaves with things we are thankful for an taped them to a "tree". We played a round of Bingo before topping our already full bellies off with pupmkin pie, apple crisp and ice cream. MmmmmmmMmmmmm!
