Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful weekend with the family! So much to be thankful for this year! The whole weekend I couldn't get over the fact that this was our last Thanksgiving as 2.5 (Mike and I and Dutch). Next year we will have an 11 month old at the dinner table, probably making things a little less relaxing! 


Wednesday night Mike & Ben went out downtown Palatine, sometimes I miss going out, but really I am thankful I have an excuse to curl up into my warm bed and not have to head out into the cold for the same beer that is in my fridge. Ha I sound like an old woman! 


Thursday morning the 5 of us headed up to Pine Lake in Wisconsin. It is such a beautiful place and some of my favorite people reside up there:) I treasure all of our time together always! We are a little family but we think we are all a lot of fun!












So this week I didn't get to write about someone I am VERY thankful for! My Amazing Dad! I love him more than he will ever know! He is such an example of a God Loving man who cherishes his family. He has always made us feel loved and safe growing up. Yes he spoiled us, but at the same time always taught us what is most important in life, Family and Faith. Now that I am an adult I have learned more about him as a person rather than a "parent" and the respect I have for him only grows. So excited that Jack will be blessed with him as his Gpa!

How cute is my Postdaddy (I know I am embarrassing him now)! There isn't anyone else I want to spend life with! He is the greatest, I mean don't get my wrong we argue, but I am happy he is the one I get to argue with! If you know me at all you know that I am a sucker for Family Time and Holidays....love traditions and celebrating! Very thankful that Mike puts up with it and joins in fun!


Tradition is we always spend 2 nights up in Wisconsin. On Friday we sleep in and the girls go out for shopping and the boys go out and do their shopping as well as top of their day with a few games of competitive bowling.
Dinner is at Kurt's a Super Club in Delafield, yes most people eat light the day after Thanksgiving but not the Pranke/Rinker/Postma group.

Curious about the cork? Me too? It's Ben what can ya say.


It was another wonderful weekend "making memories" with the family!
