One of Anna Kate\u2019s kindergarten projects this semester was to take a turkey template that was handed out in class and disguise it so that it wouldn\u2019t get eaten for Thanksgiving.  I think she did such a great job!  This Thanksgiving looked so different than any other.  Long story short, Anna Kate and I both came down with the flu, strep throat and ear infections.  Yes, all 3 at the same time.  I\u2019ve never even thought up having all of those at once, but it happened to both of us.  I have never been so sick in my life!  I know what each one of those feels alone, but I\u2019m telling you, this has been indescribable.  Noelle saved the day helping me take care of the littles while Mike was at work this week.  I don\u2019t know what I would\u2019ve done without her.  Rose had the flu last week to kick all of this off, and Noelle ended up with strep yesterday.  We always get our flu shots, I just ran out of time this year!  <\/p>\n

So this morning, we all cuddled up and watched the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade, played games and wore our pjs all day.  Mike and the littles went to his parents for Thanksgiving dinner, and Noelle and I made the most of still being contagious at home.  I\u2019ll never forget this Thanksgiving in disguise.  It definitely looked different, but it was still Thanksgiving.  I spent the day pondering all we have to be thankful for as we relaxed together, especially the simple things that usually don\u2019t cross my mind.  This was a good one I\u2019ll hold on to and remember as not ideal, but super special and meaningful nonetheless.  Now we\u2019ve got to get well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
