For Eric's birthday we all went out to eat at Grazies. There were lots of crazy packer fans out there watching the game and our big table was right next to one of the TVs. Lily thought that was cool because she got to see "cheesy-guys" in the stands. After dinner, we went to the grocery store to pick up party supplies and then we were off to Eric & Heather's place. First we played a few rounds of SceneIt Movies 2nd Edition. My team rocked the house! Then, after that we hung out and played some cards. It was lots of fun but we had to leave at 1am because Adam had to work in the morning.

After Adam got done with work on Wednesday we headed to Stratford. We had manicotti for dinner which was really good. We just hung out and played a little Mario Galaxy. We also took a little soak in the hot tub which felt really good even though it was so cold outside. After that Michelle, Adam, Lily and I went to the Marshfield Wal*Mart together because Michelle needed some new clothes.
Thursday we slept in until about 10 which was nice. The turkey was cooking and we all hung out together. Adam's dad and Lily played catch for a while and then Adam and Lily had a pillow fight. Lily also had a lot of fun with some tanning glasses that she found. We ate our first turkey dinner at about 2:30pm. Then, we gathered up all our stuff and were headed back home to go to my family's thanksgiving. Lily and Braeden didn't each much of the second dinner but they did had a lot of fun playing together. After dinner Mom, Becky and I planned our Black Friday shopping and then I went home to go to sleep because my parents were picking me up at 3:45am!

Steve and family came to visit this weekend. Saturday we hung out at the house for a little bit then went on a shopping trip. I had a huge headache so I was in lots of pain...stupid tooth that I have to pay to get pulled soon. Our shopping spree included Kohl's, Otterlees, Shopko, Walgreens, and Copps. After that Mom made her yummy tacos and we chowed down. Then, after kitchen clean-up we had a S'mores party on the patio which was lots of fun.
Sunday we went to Becky's house because she was having a Home & Garden Party Mom, Lori and I went to the party while Matt & Danny played games with Nick and Steve, Dad and Johnny went shopping. All I bought was a Christmas present for someone but I did end up winning a bottle of coconut lotion thanks to my family pooling their fake money together for me after they already won stuff. After the party we went back to my parents house and Steve took some photos of us for our Christmas cards. The kids had fun playing outside and the boys where even climbing huge trees! Then, they had to go home and Lily tried to sneak away in the van. Johnny was upset that she really wasn't coming along! Those two had so much fun together this weekend.

My parents, Lily and I all went shopping in Wausau where we met up with Becky and Braeden. We had oodles of fun shopping at Gordman's, Wal*Mart, Sams and the card store. Becky has injured her foot so she had to ride in those electrical carts everywhere we went. Lily had fun with Braeden playing in the carts, especially the one at Sam's because they both could sit up in the top part. There they enjoyed Icees, a hot dog and some Macaroni and Cheese. It was quite interesting having to take care of two crazy little kids at once!
One night Mom and I had some crazy fun going to both Walgreens to get some halloween and harvest decor for 75% off. I also got a sweet Freddy Kruger mask/glove set for like $3. Lily decided that all my stuff was really hers and had fun playing mostly with my scarecrow salt & pepper shakers.
