November 27-29, 2025
Scott, Karen, Nora, Wesley and Grandma all came for Thanksgiving. Things started out pretty slow, just hanging out a bit around the house on Wednesday afternoon/evening. Then the festivities set in on Thursday with our big dinner together.
Thursday night we celebrated a little bit of Christmas with Grandma, Nora & Wesley. Then on Friday we headed out for some Black Friday shopping and the annual scavenger hunt at Southridge. We closed out Friday with a showing on the Peanuts Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas.
On Saturday we had a very full schedule. First thing on Saturday morning I met Scott and Nora at Starbucks for her very first Starbucks drink - the pink drink. It was a hit. I learned after the holiday that Nora has now learned to make these at home!
Then on Saturday afternoon we had a fun family outing to Uncork & Create to make crushed glass Santas! We had a wooden Santa form and then we got to fill it with crushed glass and finish it with resin and hardener so it would make a suncatcher. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it and all of them came out just a little different. Daniel was on call so he didn't get to join, but we brought all his stuff home and he got to make his a little later.
Then, on Saturday night we braved the cold to visit Light the Night. It was pretty cold, but we still got to see all the lights, Wesley got to enjoy some bounce houses and Nora and Emily went skating. It was a very full and very fun day. This was definitely one of our best holidays.
