Thanksgiving is always a great time for my husband (who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago) to see lots of his old friends. A lot of them are back in town visiting their family for the holiday. It always prompts get togethers not only with the visiting friends but also with friends we never seem to get a chance to see all year, even if they just live down the street.

Dinner at Dave and Karen's

Both Friday and Saturday night were spent with Adam’s high school buddies. It was so nice to see everyone! Adam and I were confident that, unlike last year, Jack and Ben could wander around almost unsupervised like they do in our own home. Within minutes of entering the house there was pee on the wall and one of the ornaments was broken. I guess we were over confident. Maybe next year…
