We had a wonderful holiday week and weekend. Allison came home on Wednesday and we attended a beautiful church service that night, and then we had 15 people at our Thanksgiving feast. We did a lot Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) including Allison and me going to a special class at my gym (which left us sore), baking lots of food, eating and sharing thanks, and playing football (my team one) and then Settlers (I won) in the evening. It really was a great day ;-).

We also celebrated my wonderful mother’s birthday on Saturday. It is always extra-special to celebrate my mom’s birthdays as several bouts with cancer have threatened her life. We are so thankful for her.
We had homemade lattes and cranberry bread in the morning and then Qdoba in the evening before Mom, Dad, Allison and I saw The Help in a local old-school theater. I was really glad to share the movie with them since they hadn’t seen it before and I expected them to like it as much as I did. Overall, it was a great day.
