On the plus side, we had a great Thanksgiving, and we hope you did, too. We headed to B-N to spend Turkey Day with Eric's family, and since we took a half day on Wednesday we were able to get there at a decent hour and beat the traffic. Yay.
Unfortunately, Peanut was not a happy dog on Wednesday night. I don't know if he heard people stirring around the house late at night or if he was just protecting us from the resident squirrels in the neighborhood (since clearly IL squirrels are different from the ones at our house)...but he was up all night long. As in we couldn't even attempt to fall asleep until after 3:30 a.m. And then Peanut was awake for the day at 6:30 a.m. Ugh. To say we were in a zombie state all day would be an understatement.
At any rate, Thanksgiving itself was wonderful, and we were so glad to spend it with the extended family. We also got to spend time with our niece, Addison, and we had lots of fun with her. Kim also was a bit shutter happy and took over 50 pictures of her. Oops! (Melissa, we'll get you a CD.).
Friday night, we went to see the 4A IL high school championship (and were frozen by mid-way through the third quarter). In continuing the sports theme, we also cheered the Flyers on to victory as they won the Chicago Invitational!
When we got home, Peanut slept for about 15 hours straight. Apparently being a watchdog is tiresome! We, on the other hand, were very busy getting our Christmas decorations up. The outside is done except for putting lights on the tree, and the inside is done except for putting ornaments on the tree. Guess we'll be busy tomorrow.
Current gas price: $1.75/gallon (though we saw $1.49 before the holiday).
