Michael came home early on Wednesday so we could start the weekend off early. After an easy dinner of delivery pizza, we helped make the Thanksgiving pies. Miriam had such a blast rolling out the crust with Grandpa. All she could talk about that night was pie. She even said she was grateful for pie in her prayer.
Thanksgiving day was nice and relaxing. We enjoyed the time spent with family and all the food we were able to eat! We watched a little bit of football and took a few pictures outside. (Although I didn't ever get a family one taken.) Here are a few pictures of the day.

Miriam was so excited to help set the table (as usual).

Ready for the feast
Friday morning was a bit of a shock for me. Michael got up and braved the Black Friday crowd, alone. He hates shopping, but was up by about 3:15 am and ready to be at Best Buy before 4:00 am. We were able to get a new desktop computer at a great price thanks to Michael's sacrifice. He didn't get home until after nine o'clock... hmmm, I wonder what else he was doing while he was out and about? We spent the rest of Friday and Saturday shopping and hanging out. We got a few things for the baby. I am done Christmas shopping and from the sound of it Michael is too.
Sunday afternoon we got the keys to our new apartment. We are now free to move in when we please. Although we will wait until Saturday to move everything in, I plan on going over a couple of times this week to clean and get things ready. It was a wonderful relaxing weekend spent together. Miriam was so excited every morning to find out that her Dad was home (instead of at work or on the airplane... she asks every day). We are definitely looking forward to more family time over Christmas break. I hope you are too.
