Janelle has Thanksgiving off for the first time in about five years. Hopefully we can spend the day doing things together (other than just cooking, dishes, and shovelling). It will be a little odd as this is our first Thanksgiving without Trevor since he was born. However, it is also Chloe's first Thanksgiving, so that sort of balances out.
We will all head to bed early so we can hit Freddy's right when it opens on Black Friday. Janelle doesn't have the super-early shift, so she wants to get some shopping in before her (still early) shift starts. Chloe and the boys will be following along. It might be a bit early for Rowen, but we didn't want to leave him home by himself either and both Chloe and Connor want to go out.
Following that, we get out the Christmas decorations. It's been getting dark here, and the Christmas lights really make this time of year more bearable. I like the holiday spirit that they bring.
Just thinking about this week puts me into a thankful mindset.
