What a great 5 days we have had in the Charland household. It all started on Wednesday, our first day of Thanksgiving break. Drew and I started the day off playing and reading books. I am amazed at how much he loves to read his books. Chris had to go off to work to finish inventory and cleaning of the shop. When Chris got home we went to Kohl's in search of a winter coat and snowsuit for Drew. We had success in finding a coat, but are still searching for a snowsuit. I really didn't think with living in northern Michigan finding a snowsuit would be that difficult. However, we are still looking.
Thanksgiving Day was very enjoyable. We hung around our house until about 3:00 and the went to mom's for dinner. It was a wonderful dinner. Chris and I made stuffing, green bean casserole and hot fudge cake. We had all the traditional fixins with pumpkin pie for dessert.
As we celebrated this Thanksgiving I thought of Thanksgivings of the past. My fondest memories are the ones that involved my siblings and my cousins. I didn't always celebrate Thanksgiving with the same side of the family, however, I always had my siblings and some cousins around. I do hope Drew will be able to experience holidays with cousins. He will be celebrating this Christmas with Autumn and Brooke as we are going to head to Kalamazoo on Christmas Eve.
The Friday after Thanksgiving we went to Sears and Drew had his first professional pictures taken. He cracked up the photographer most of the time, he was being such a ham. He definitely has his daddy's personality, which makes me the luckiest woman in the world to have two boys always cracking you up.
