Thanksgiving in Galena

(our turkey was finished in 3 hours flat!)

We started a new Thanksgiving tradition this year. Our little family of four met up with the Thatchers for a weekend away in Galena, Il. It was the perfect setting: cabin in the woods, roaring fire, lots of delicious food, late night chit, chat & card games.

Thankful for my Walker Baby

(Happy Birthday, Sarah!)

I headed to breakfast with a few friends this morning. It was a great start to the morning; a little chit chat and some yummy food. We were all laughing about how much we love the food at Walker Bros. Pancake House and how we all left with "Walker babies"... you know BIG BELLIES! Now my tummy is all stretch out for Thanksgiving (sigh). With Thanksgiving approaching, I am thankful for so many things.

After I left, I felt so blessed to have so many good friends here in Chicago. I am thankful for my friends who are scattered all over the world!

SMOOCH!
