Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving week, we sure did!  It was very nice to have all 5 of us off of work/school and home on Wednesday-Sunday!  We were up early on Thursday and headed out for lunch in Burr Ridge with 3 handsome boys.
 We then went to Chicago Ridge for another meal with the cousins!
 Needless the say, the food and lack of nap hit Isaac like a ton of bricks!
 But we rallied, got home, and put on some matching jammies to usher in the holiday season!
 After fun ladies/dudes separate lunches on Friday, I headed out early on Saturday to cheer on Philie in her half marathon.  I had arranged for some FaceTime cheerleaders to get her geared up.  Kathleen greeted her before we headed out for the race.
 We arrived to cold conditions and some pre race nerves.
 Did I mention, it was COLD!
 Another FaceTime session, this time with Jenny who showed us where Washington crossed the Delaware River from her warm and cozy car.
 One last hug before lining up!
 "Why did I sign up for this? GAH!"
 Elizabeth FaceTimed in at mile #5 to see our racer and some other fun cheerleaders...
 Kelly and Ginger came out to rally around mile 4 and 5!
Erin gets the award for "best worst cheerleader" as she actually ran 8 miles with her!

 She did it!  I am so incredibly proud to know this amazing lady!
 Maybe these 2 will convince me to do a 5k, MAYBE!
 Mike went to visit his dad one night, so we opted for Taco Bell dinner!  Sam LOVES him some tacos and nachos!
 Noah's newest obsession is perler beads.  He really has the combination of skills with math and with visual arts to be able to come up with some cool stuff!  He did it for 3 days straight!
 My favorite time of year!!!  Isaac gets his first crack at topping the tree!
 Sam found his "baby's first christmas" ornament!
 Noah did a great job helping out Isaac!

 "Dad, this is really you?!"



 And out comes the Little People nativity scene!  Holiday time is here!
