Today is the end of our 2008 Thanksgiving vacation. Last Wednesday Kelly visited the girls at their school for a Thanksgiving feast and party.

On Thursday we visited Kelly’s parents in the afternoon for a nice relaxing no stress Thanksgiving dinner. Dinner was great and the girls and I played a few games of 9 Ball with Grandpa Tschohl. He beat us 4 out of 5 games.

Friday Kelly hit the Black Friday shopping scene in the morning and I taught the girls how to jump of a couch into a bunch of pillows – Father of the Year… Friday afternoon I visited with some friend at the Sandstone Bar and Grill where I used to be a Friday afternoon regular before taking the job with ExactTarget. I miss it but am very happy with my stable job thank you.

Yesterday’s weather was wonderful, and we all took time to enjoy it. Kelly went for a run, I put of the Christmas lights, the girls played in the yard and we went out to dinner in Broad Ripple with the Wilkerson’s. We ate at Broad Ripple Stake House. It was nice to get out with grown-ups to a nice restaurant again.

Today we wok up to a fresh coat of about an inch of snow. Before lunch we bundled up the girls and went out to play in the driveway. We also discovered we have a nice little sled hill in our front yard. The girls came inside and had hot chocolate and I’m getting ready to watch the Colts game at 1pm today.

This was a great few days with the family.
