On Friday, Craig, Julia, and I hit the malls shopping for that 'special' gift. The jeep was packed and we were pooped!
On Saturday, Grandpa Bill and Sharon came to our house to share in another yummy turkey dinner. (I couldn't go through Thanksgiving without preparing a turkey with all the sides!) After dinner, Craig dragged the small Christmas tree from the attic and Sharon, Julia, and Grampa Bill decorated it with the box of Santa tree ornaments! (I wasn't going to put up a tree this year, but I was guilted into decorating the small one!) When it was all done, I was happy!
Sunday, we all went to church and enjoyed left-overs for dinner! The fun, fast paced, weekend quickly ended when we packed Julia up for her long trip back to Bourbonnais to finish her third semester at O.N.U.
Again, I look forward to our next holiday when the family can be united once again! I miss the activity when our children are away! Tis the season to be jolly!
