How has Thanksgiving already came and gone? Is it me, or is the end of this year flying by? Thanksgiving was wonderful and I certainly enjoyed 6 days off of work, what a treat! Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but sometimes you just need a break! I worked extra Monday and Tuesday so that I didn't have to work the half day scheduled for Wednesday. So we'll start this recap there on my first day off.
Wednesday, the first thing I did was sleep in (of course). I didn't even set a clock Tuesday night which was awesome. This girl loves her sleep. After sleeping in and then having breakfast, I got ready and went to my parents house to make a few things with my mom and then brought my sister back to my house. After making a few errands and dropping Brinley off at cheer practice, I spend most of the afternoon/evening at home. Later we had a Thanksgiving service at church, which was also really good. After church we went to my grandparents house and visited with my family for a while.
Thursday morning we were up and on the road. We headed to Virginia to spend Thanksgiving with Preston's side of the family. We really enjoyed family time and the meal was delicious (thanks again, Nana!). After eating and visiting, we rested a little while and then Preston and I got ready to do some shopping. Our first stop was Kohls, getting there right when they opened. Surprisingly, lines weren't bad at all and it went so much smoother than previous years. We continued our shopping through the night and got home around 1am.
Friday (my birthday!) we were back up and at Lowes for a few things around 8:00am. We went to a few other stores, got breakfast, and then headed back for a quick nap. After napping we got ready and went to the Barter Theatre and saw a Christmas play with Nana and Pawpaw. The show was really good and definitely a great birthday treat. After the play we were back on the road again and Asheville bound. One of my best friends had her baby girl this week so we went to visit. We got to their house and had lots of baby snuggles. Baby Zoe is absolutely precious and so so tiny! We headed to our hotel for the rest of the night.
Saturday most of the day was spent continuing baby snuggles and visiting with friends before it was time to head back home to KY. We stopped for a birthday dinner at Bonefish grill and then were on the road again. Once back in KY, we went to my parent's house to get Chloe girl who had been staying there while we were away. Brinley and Brice decided to stay with us Saturday evening.
Sunday we went to church, had lunch at my parents' house and then had a pretty easy afternoon. These few days off of work was just what I needed and I'm looking forward to an even longer break for Christmas in just a few weeks!
What did you spend your Thanksgiving weekend doing?
Hope all of you are having a good week- only 22 days until Christmas!
Sounds like you had a great and busy few days off. I'm so glad that you had a great Thanksgiving.
