Pre-departure check:
One of the things we'd promised Natalie that she'd get to do in Michigan was to visit the Franklin Cider Mill. It was a super-cold day, complete with snow flurries (this narrative device is called foreshadowing). Luckily, the kids were warm in their new jackets from Bubbe and Grrr.
And, yes, cider and donuts were consumed. Delicious!
Hanukkah fell super-early this year - that has sort of taken the buzz out of the holiday season for me now. But, the lovely thing about the timing was that we got to celebrate Hanukkah with family.
Additional family shot:
We woke up Thanksgiving morning to snow on the ground (promises: kept). Driving conditions weren't ideal, my torn muscle hadn't healed (I'd already planned to drop from the 10k run to the 5k walk), and I was coming off a cold / asthma incident. So we decided to skip the much-anticipated Turkey Trot. Lesson: learned.
We made the best of it, however, by taking a little walk just the two of us to a nearby Starbucks. It was beautiful. The walk, I mean; the Starbucks was, well, Starbucks-y.
Thanksgiving day was serious cousin play time.
The dinner itself was lovely - food, family, festivities all around.
Hope your holiday was also full of sparkle!
