Thankgivng 2008- a whole weekend of fun

Thanksgiving started out with a delicious breakfast, with many thanks to Norm for cooking for us.
Next we had to check out all the "after thanksgiving " ads. We found some great bargains.
Next, we went over to Karen and Marks for dinner.Mark and Madison had time for a fun game.
The engaged couple. Aren't they cute?


The "kids" table.
The Phelans also enjoyed the holiday with us.
What's in the oven?????

Awwwwww. Madison loves her big cousin.

The friday after thanksgiving is time for the festival of lights parade in Howell. The weather was nice, but cold. A fun time was had by all.



On Saturday we drove to Indianapolis to meet up with the Wegescheide family and return Missouri Matt back to his family. He was visiting in Michigan for the past week. We actually had some relaxing time.

Playing Texas Hold em on the computer.

Saying goodbye....so sad. But,Kelly and Matt will be together soon in Europe. Kelly will be going there in 2 weeks, just for a 10 day visit to "check it out".

Lisa, these are some great pictures. While bittersweet, I'm glad we're able to keep tabs on each other as a family!

But I must say -- the picture where you're looking at ads looks staged. The give-away -- the big smile on Mark's face while he's looking at the advertisements! Even if there was something Mark wanted to buy, he would have known about it a month ago and would have long ago made plans to get it...and if not, he'd have a much more serious, plotting look on his face.

Miss you all! Wish we were there!

Looks like a great time!
And I'm curious as to where you went in Indy...?

It's Lisa said...

Bethany- we were in southern indianapolis. We tried to find a midway point between Missouri and Michigan, and that was a 4.5 hr drive for both of us.
Do you have any suggestions for other places we could meet around southern indy? We will probably making this trip often to meet with the wegescheides.
