We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, especially 1 adorable little boy and 1 little girl on the way! We were very busy this Thanksgiving but got to see lots of family. We started out in Hebron on Wednesday night with dinner with Dan. Ashley and I then baked some dessert to take to Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. We stayed in Hebron on Wed. night and then headed to Fairbury on Thursday morning to my Gma Marlene's for Thanksgiving with the Houtwed's. Almost everyone could make it so it was great to see everyone! We were especially excited to see my cousin Kristen's new baby girl Andi, who is already 4 months old but this is the first time we have seen her in person! She is adorable!
After an afternoon of visiting/napping for some we headed to Lincoln for a Thanksgiving supper with some of the Luehring's at my Aunt Lori & Uncle Scott's. We had more great turkey and the trimmings! Ashley and I took Paul and Grady to Cassie's (our sister-in-law) family Thanksgiving later that night so that they could ride back to Paul's family and Ashley and I stayed in Lincoln to do some black Friday shopping!
We started our shopping on Thursday night at 10:00 at Toys R Us. I'm not sure if we will do that again but it was a good experience for one time! We got what we wanted so I guess that is the main thing! We then went back to sleep and didn't get up early for the early morning black friday sales. We went to the mall around 9:00 instead and got lots of great deals there! Most of our Christmas shopping is done!
When we were done with our shopping we headed to Pender for the rest of the weekend. We made it for most of the 2nd half of the football game and Paul's family had a lot of people over to watch it and then more family came for a Thanksgiving supper for the Guenther side of the family that night. We ate MORE turkey and trimmings! And then we played cards/games/watched more football and hung out!
Saturday was spend hanging out and then Isaac's 3rd birthday party was Saturday night! Fun! Sunday we went to church and then out to breakfast before heading back. Very busy, but saw lots of family and got to do lots of fun things!
The bad part of the weekend is that Grady was sick for the 2nd time in his life! YUCK! Ironically both times have been at Paul's parents. Last Christmas was the only time he was sick before this and now Thanksgiving! Hopefully that means that this Christmas he will be fine!! Paul ended up taking him to the Dr. in West Point on Friday morning after his fever hadn't broken for over 24 hours and he woke up a lot worse. He had a throat infection and cold in his eyes, plus lots of congestion and nose problems. He got an antibiotic and looked MUCH better by Saturday morning. He still couldn't break the fever though until Sunday morning. So, not much sleep was had by Gradyn for about 4 days b/c he just couldn't get comfortable and breath! I felt so bad for him! He looked TERRIBLE too! It's too bad that when all of the family gets to see him he looks so bad all the time! He ends up being sick for holidays! Like I said, yuck! We are hoping for a very healthy Christmas because it will be lots of traveling around to see more family!
I hope to get some pics posted soon! I haven't been happy with the way blogspot is letting me post pics, hence the lack of them lately. We didn't take that many pics over Thanksgiving since Grady wasn't feeling good and looking so bad, but we do have a few, especially of the 3 boys and Grady and Andi! I will also try to post some from other things we have done lately.
