Thanksgiving



Lee got 4 days off in a row, so we were able to go down to visit family and stay!


We had the big family gathering at Myrna's. This year we tried Bunco, and it was a lot of fun. Connor played as a "ghost" most of the night (you roll for him if he's your partner). He was enjoying the pool table upstairs a little more than the chaos of switching partners every round. He actually rolled the dice one time :)


On Friday, we ignored all the big sales, and just went shopping to get what we needed for playing in the snow on Saturday. Both boys needed boots. Then we went to see Happy Feet. It was very cute. We aren't used to the way they do previews in their theater. They show trailers for DVD's coming out - the same trailers you saw in the theater before those movies came out. It lasted a good half hour before the "real" previews for new movies came out. Then the show finally started. 15 minutes in, Connor was already "done" with movies. If we would have gotten popcorn, he would have lasted longer, but we'd all just eaten lunch.


I think I prefer the rinky-dink silent slide show they show in our theaters. You can at least have a conversation if you come early. And make fun of the slides. Then once the previews start, you know the movie is coming pretty soon.


After dinner, we went over to the folk's place, and then went out to a newer restaurant for dinner. They still have some kinks to work out at that place. heh. I'm sure it will be running great in a month or so.


Dan & Diana went to the mall then so she could check out Hot Topic. We went to pick them up after visiting with the folks some more, but then we found out Dan got sick. At first, we were afraid it was food poisoning, but looks like it was a flu bug.


Next entry will be for Saturday's fun in the snow.

well, Tean Bean, I will be praying that the flu bug does not fly into your home! You never know when you are around it. You have any Airborne?

I have Immuno Start - from the company that makes Connor's supplement.

First sign of any kind of cold, and if we take a couple of those, it goes away. :)
