Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving this year was as busy, as usual, however; Benji decided to throw us a curve ball and wake up super sick.  He was running a fever, squeak coughing, and he had sick eyes for the most of the day.  Instead of letting this illness beat us, we decided to take the day in with a sick kid in tow!  I mean, who doesn't love a cuddly/semi-cranky sick kid on a holiday??

Our first stop was at my cousin Justin's house in Decatur, followed by a stop at Andy's parents, and finally we ended up at Chris & Christina's.  To round the day out nicely, my mom, Sarah, and I did some Black Friday shopping starting at 8pm.  I am exhausted just thinking about that day :)

For the curious....we ended up taking Benji to the doctor the next day and he had bronchiolitis (not RSV). He also bought himself a breathing treatment and a chest xray, too. Not.fun.at.all.

I am thankful for many things, but here are the first 5 that come to mind (in no particular order)....

1. Andy and all that he does for us
2. Luke and Ben, I couldn't ask for better kiddos
3. The rest of my family, enough said
4. Living in a country where I can freely worship God
5. My job, even on the bad days
