Thanksgiving Wrap Up

 Another Thanksgiving week has come and gone. It was wonderful hanging out with my Mom. Although she is still in the immobilizer and tethered to the house, she is moving and getting around better every day. Hopefully she will only have a few more weeks of healing in the immobilizer. I know that she is chomping at the bit to start weight bearing and to resume her life.  

This was the first Thanksgiving in 25 years that Scott and I spent separately. He went to Ohio to visit with his mom and siblings. It was strange not engaging in our pre- and post- Thanksgiving traditions with Scott this year. Of course, everything else has been strange this year so it makes sense that our Thanksgiving would be wonky as well.

Although I didn't do anything spectacular over Thanksgiving break, I did manage to secure haircuts for myself and the boys. We also did some winter clothes shopping so everybody is set for the colder weather. Timmy was especially delighted to now be wearing a xs men's size from Robby's preferred store. For the first time, Hamlet picked out all of his own clothes alongside his brother. Needless to say and much to Robby's chagrin, we now have a lot of matching outfits. 

Of course, I couldn't let Thanksgiving pass without mentioning the traditional Turkey Trot. My sister and Timmy have made this event their Thanksgiving tradition. While I'm not a runner, I was happy to tag along as a cheerleader. I was proud of my Turkey Trotters!
