Happy Thanksgiving from one thankful lady! This has been one of the best years of my life, and I couldn't be more thankful for my family, job, health... life! We had brunch at my parents' house this morning, and are heading out for dinner in a little bit. Trying to write quickly!

Maggie is obsessed with the planets since learning
about them in school |

| Mom and Dad's lovely brunch |
I celebrated 34 years of life last Monday! I go a delicious donut cake (this is a game
changer), and some fun gifts from the family.
Maggie is going to “take me” to see the Wizard of Oz this weekend at the
Fox Theater – she managed to keep it a secret for two whole weeks!

| Happy Birthday to me |
This past weekend, Jamie and I took a quick trip to Chicago
to see Hamilton! I am a little obsessed
with the show, and didn’t think I’d get to see it for a really long time… well,
we decided to splurge! He did an incredible job planning the perfect little getaway. Amazing!! We stayed right downtown, did a little
shopping, had a super fancy dinner and drinks, and then enjoyed the show! I even got to see my buddy Becky from
college! There are not enough exclamation
marks to express my joy – such an awesome weekend! Special thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for
watching the girls, and even taking Maggie to her friend’s birthday party while
we were out of town!

Stumbled across many Rabine construction signs
in Chicago... future job? |

| Brunch at Pep's |
The day before Thanksgiving was "VIP" day at Maggie's school, and she ask her godmother Aunt Amy to go. They did church, had a snack, and did a craft. Aunt Amy agrees that Maggie's teacher is a saint! Will and Uncle Jamie hung out at McDonald's for a while, and then came home to play with Evie for the rest of the morning. We decided to get out Christmas decorations since Jamie and I both were off from work - the kids were vvvvvery helpful.

Poor Aunt Amy had to chill alone while Maggie sat
with her buddies at church |

Aunt Amy's business is booming, and so the girls modeled a couple outfits for her in the afternoon. They had a professional photographer, but Jamie snapped a few phone photos since we were there.

| Always. |

Maggie helped us decorate the tree - first year it was
helpful instead of more work! |
