We had another wonderful Thanksgiving, this one being our first in the new house. Oh, and as a married couple.

We had Mom and Dad L over for dinner along with the chicks, and the dinner was amazing. Our turkey was a fresh one from the fine folks at Tuscan Market.

On Friday, all the girls came to the office with me and camped out in a conference room while I got some work done. We had breakfast at White Palace and lunch at Panera, and made the obligatory stop at World Market for ornaments.
Later in the day, we went to North School Park for the annual tree lighting. You can see a five-minute video of the event on our podcast site.
I remember going to the very first village tree lighting in 1990: there were about 25 of us standing on a piece of vacant land in front of the spot where Egg Harbor and Fannie May now stand. A switch was thrown, the lights on a 10-foot evergreen went on, and we sang “White Christmas,” and it started raining. It was a far cry from today’s event.

On Saturday, we went to Lisa’s parents’ house. Rebecca drove us there, and Emma drove the tractor once we got there.

Saturday night, we went to see the lights that were set up in the TPA park in Frankfort, Indiana. Very cool!
We got home early Sunday afternoon, and started setting up Christmas decorations in the house.
The holiday season is in full swing!
