Decorating Day
This is our first year with a "fake" tree. I gave it two years in AZ with a real one and it just wasn't working for us. The tree was dry and looked like a fire hazard within two weeks. I hate to admit it, but no watering, no messing with the lights, no needles all over the house, it really isn't so bad. It actually turned out beautiful!
That evening (before the flu struck again) the girls decorated cookies and Julie and Nana. Nate and I were able to sneak out for a great date at Pizzeria Bianco.
Gobble Gobble!
This was Kailey's Thanksgiving outfit last year. She would not even put the poncho on. Gianna on the other had LOVED it. It was fun to see her feel like she was in a costume and show everyone her "cape."
By Thanksgiving Day we were all healthy. We had a great dinner and then had a ton of friends come join us for dessert. It was a great time, and fun to spend it with a fabulous mix of people.
Just two days later........Mom, Julie, Kailey, Gianna, and two of our guests all ended up with the stomach flu....again. I guess we weren't as healthy as we thought. I guess the number one thing that I am Thankful for right now, is our health. I think we take it for granted was too often!

Hanging Out at Home
Surprise, Surprise, sickness has hit our house again. K, G, and I all got a stomach bug. It was pretty awful, but only lasted 24 hours.....or so I thought. Kailey was all better for a day, and then started up again. It has been 5 days off and on for her now. We went to the Dr today and he explained that since she has some "digestive" issues, it is always going to take her longer to get rid of viruses. I thought it was interesting, and something I never thought about before. So now we are giving her a lot of fiber, and trying to get her better before the big day on Thursday.
Gianna on the other hand is just trying to keep herself busy while I am getting things ready for Thanksgiving and Kailey is resting and watching movies. She is OBSESSED with her babies. Here are some shots of her changing diapers and doing her best to wipe her baby. Nate went to Costco today and got her that cute set with a stroller and cradle for Christmas. She is going to love it. If you read this, please send healthy thoughts out way! :)
