Thanksgiving 2009

Since we were unable to leave town for Thanksgiving we were happy to be joined by my mom, and brother, Greg, who flew in for the holiday from St. Louis. With Mike's Q3 call schedule (i.e. on-call every third night) getting sleep is a challenge so there was no question that we would be in Norfolk for the weekend. We had a great time with my mom and Greg and we enjoyed a delicious non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Friday (because Mike worked on Thursday) with our friends, Josh and Rebecca, along with their children, Elise and Caleb, and their respective family members who were in town. We had a great time celebrating and we forgot that it was not the actual "Thanksgiving day."

For the most part we laid low throughout the weekend since it was cool and rainy but we did get the chance to sneak in a visit to the zoo on Sunday as it was sunny and 65 degrees outside. We enjoyed one of the last visits of 2009 to the zoo and Tatum had a great time showing "gamma" all the animals!
