With a grateful heart!
Since I couldn't leave town this year for the Thanksgiving holiday, my sweet family came to Abilene. We all stayed at the MCM Elegante Suites. It was a wonderful and very different experience for my family. We have always celebrated in one of our homes and shared a home-cooked meal together. This year we relaxed in our large hotel suites. We enjoyed continental breakfast every morning.
We ate our first Thanksgiving dinner "out"
(MCM Elegante serves an all you can eat Thanksgiving meal. It was very yummy and a bit more swanky than our usual family dinner).
We swam in the indoor heated pool.
The oldest cousins had a sleepover in "Pa-G" & "GG's" room, complete with sugar cookie decorating, bowling and croquet.
We enjoyed playing together in the beautiful snow that fell on Thanksgiving day
(It started to snow during our Thanksgiving dinner and we could see the large flakes through the hotel lobby windows. When Owen saw the snow he exclaimed with an excited stutter "I wanna make a...make a...have a fight!" We quickly deduced that he was instantly energized about the possibility of a snowball fight. He doesn't really remember the last time he was in snow, so there was an exciting reality that what he has seen in movies could actually be done.). All in all a wonderful time was had.
Such a special treat for our entire family!
