We had a lovely trip to St Marys to spend Thanksgiving with Grammie and Gramps this year. The company was entertaining, the turkey was delicious and relaxation was on the agenda. What we didn't plan for was the sickness going around. When we arrived we were able to celebrate Dad's birthday, however after that we didn't see a whole lot of him. The first night was fun because after dinner we walked downtown to see the lights. They were very bright and colorful. Even better, on our way home, we met Mom at a hair salon where she was getting her haircut. I decided that I wanted to get my haircut too so we made an appointment for the next day at 1. The next day, me, Grammie and Mom had a girls outing to the salon. A guy named Evan cut my hair and my haircut looked amazing. I think I look good with shorter hair! Plus, Mom and I looked like twins with our new cuts!
On Thanksgiving morning we enjoyed watching the Macy's Parade. I especially liked the Rockettes. That got us all ready for the Thanksgiving spirit! The company arrived early in the evening and we hung out a little before dinner, then had a yummy meal that included turkey, stuffing, both kinds of potatoes, cranberry sauce, cauliflower, corn, buns, pickles (not my favorite) followed by dessert of pumpkin pie and pumpkin cookies. After dinner I got tired and snuggled up under a soft blanket to savor the rest of the evening. I wasn't feeling all that good, although I wasn't as bad as Dad. Unfortunately because we were all feeling sick, we decided to head home the next morning. I was really emotional in the car because that day I could have helped decorate Grammie and Gramps' tree and we could have had extra time to spend with them. When we got home however, we realized it was a good choice to leave because I went to the doctor when we got home that evening since I had a bad fever. I guess that's the way it goes sometimes. This will definitely be a Thanksgiving to remember!
