Thanksgiving weekend

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Chad and I have a lot to be thankful for this year. We have wonderful family and friends and two very special girls that light up our lives daily.


We celebrated Thanksgiving with Chad's family the weekend prior. Rob and Maisie were here from Texas. Having all three brothers together made the weekend very special. We spent Thanksgiving Day with my brother at our house. We enjoyed spending time with everyone! It is nice to take a break from daily routine and spend time with family.

Ashley's teacher discussed "black Friday" with the class so of course Ashley came home asking to go shopping. The three of us left the house at 8:30am and made it to a few stores before heading home. It started to snow as we left the house which made the experience even more special for the girls. We had a great time!

We went to see the USA and Italy soccer teams battle it out in Chicago to see who gets to play in the 2011 World Cup in Germany. USA won the game 1-0. The goal that was scored was directly in front of us.

Today we will put up Christmas decorations and go to Nicole's indoor soccer game. Ashley starts basketball practice this Monday and couldn't be more excited.
