Thanksgiving 2008

My Sister Cara and her husband Marc came to visit for Thanksgiving. They arrived Thanksgiving day and left on the Tuesday after! Only one picture from the weekend but here are some of the highlights! On the day after Thanksgiving we went to Mike's Farm and got our Christmas tree! It seems we have gone there every year and there Christmas tree's are great! We cut our own and it is a lot of fun! We got a 9 ft tree this year! Saturday after Thanksgiving I ended up in the emergency room with a horrible stomach thing??
I say thing because the same thing has happened way to much for it to be a virus. But luckily family was here to stay home with John since it took so long at the ER! Sunday we had to take the trip to the PX so they could do there shopping they always have to do there! It worked out nice because for every $50 you spend at the PX you can get free daycare coupons for Saturday nights on base. Well lets just say that we have enough free Saturday night daycare coupons to last us a year and we even gave some away!! Thanks Marc and Cara! Here is Marc and John enjoying a movie and a much needed nap after turkey!!!!

Minnesota!

About a week after Matt got home we took a trip up to Minnesota! It was so great to see everybody! We were only there for 8 days but it was still fun! Since we were there so close to the Marine Corps Birthday we got tickets to the Ball in Minneapolis! It was held at a place called Blaisdale Manor. Very Historic building with lots of character! Since they were overbooked we ended up having to stand for the ceremony but we didn't mind it was just nice to be there! Dinner was fabulous and our hotel room was awesome!
We also went to a place called Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge. It is a Bar/Restaurant in Minneapolis! I guess the summer is the time to go because they have to Tiki Bar set up outside and there is a lot more room! The food was fantastic and the drinks were very sweet but good! The cool glasses in the pictures below we got to buy and keep! I definitely recommend if anyone is in Minneapolis to stop by and check it out!
