We had an absolutely fabulous Thanksgiving with the Kendalls, the Simons and the Thompsons (Stephanie's mother and her husband) attending the festive occasion! I don't know who had more fun with Patrick's sisters and families - me or Patrick! It would be cool to have everyone here for a long weekend.
Allison and Marty arrived Wednesday afternoon. Paige, Dave, Alexis, and Spencer arrived to a dark house late Wednesday evening. Allison suggested we turn off all the lights before they got here so they could think they were at the wrong house or we were not here. Would Allison ever do anything like that?!?
Thursday we had a wonderful meal that was put together by Stephanie, Sara (Stephanie's mother), Allison, Paige, Dave, and Patrick. Allison decorated our tables and provided special favors - cornucopia made with waffle cones and filled with m & m's and dark chocolate turkeys. After dinner and visiting, we went to see a movies. Word of warning - Twilight is better than Four Christmases! Don't go see Four Christmases - PG-13 is NOT an appropriate rating!
On Friday, Dave and Marty hung my porch swing on the front porch. Thanks guys! Allison, Paige and Stephanie decorated the Christmas Tree. It is beautiful! Allison has a special touch at decorating. Maybe she will teach me a few things. Friday night we went to eat at the Station House at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. What a wonderful time we had! After dinner, the guys came back to our house. The gals went downtown Chattanooga to see decorated windows at the Electric Power Board and then went to Starbucks to have Signature Hot Chocolate. Yum yum!
On Saturday, Allison and Marty headed back home. We took the Kendall family sight seeing in Chattanooga. The weather was not very cooperative. Then that evening we went to eat pizza. Spencer and Alexis were happy with that choice!
Sunday, we said our goodbyes to Paige and family (boo hoo!!!).
We are so glad that you guys all came to visit! We hope it will not be your last. I think Patrick has had 'sister withdrawals' this week! We miss you!
Now it is on to Christmas preparations!
