1. Saw Frozen (I don't know how it happened, but I never even saw a preview for this movie. I only knew it existed because I started seeing the toys at Target).
2. Saw The Book Thief (the beginning was kind of boring, but by the end I really liked it. I won't watch it over and over again, but it was good for a one-time viewing).
3. Ate turkey and pie for breakfast.
4. Stayed up
5. Attended a baptism.
6. Ate pizza.
7. Went to Zupa's.
8. Took the kids out for breakfast.
9. Went to the zoo.
10. Took Zoe to InstaCare for an ear infection.
11. Played in the church gym.
12. Ran 10 miles (five at a time).
13. Got a sore throat (thus skipping the run I had planned for Saturday morning).
14. Cleaned the entire house and kept it that way.
15. Spray painted some picture frames.
16. Put up the Christmas tree - the baby proof edition, which is two trees on the sofa table behind the couch.
17. Played board games.
18. Went to Tucano's for my brothers' birthdays.
19. Started our advent chain.
20. Hung the stockings.
21. Purchased, cooked, shredded, and froze 30 lbs of chicken.
In summary, we saw more movies in 48 hours than we have seen in the past year, we ate out... a lot (which is why our house stayed clean), we had our fair share of the sickies, and we are ready for Christmas. Thanksgiving weekend was, hands down, the best weekend I've had all year - even with a sore throat, achey body, and chills. It had a good balance of fun and productivity, which, to me, means that we mostly did fun things, but we did enough productive things to not feel guilty.
Now we are spending our Sunday praying and fasting for blessings we need from our Heavenly Father - a perfect way to thank Him for the things he has given us while simultaneously resetting our over-stretched Thanksgiving bellies.
