Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Okay...a little late in wishing you a happy turkey day, but it's been a busy few days!  Emilie is home from college, mom and dad came up from Iowa, and we hit the ground running from start to finish.

Mom and dad are now on their way home, Emilie and family are decorating the house for Christmas, and I have a few minutes to reflect on how much FUN we had!  Starting with dinner on Wednesday at Robin and Dave's (yum!), through Thanksgiving brunch at the St. Paul Hotel (yum again!)...from lounging about Thanksgiving afternoon, through a mad dash to a bunch of stores on Thanksgiving night to take care of a few Christmas presents...from more shopping Friday morning (occasional stores...much less chaotic that Target, Herbergers, Kohls, etc. the night before), through grocery shopping and cooking the rest of the day for everyone to come here for dinner on Friday night to celebrate by birthday (how did I end up doing the cooking and making the cake for my birthday?! Ha!)....a good time was had by all!

Not a lot of photos of the fast and furious few days, but here are some from the St. Paul Hotel...

Here's hoping YOU had a great Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it!), and that you are ready for the oncoming chaos of Christmas (if you celebrate it!!) too!!
