Tuesday night was Lily's cheerleading/football banquet. She received a trophy for all of her hard work. Here are the girls with daddy and Lily making a silly face with her trophy in hand.
Wednesday, we stayed inside all day in our pajamas. I baked and then decorated for Christmas. It was windy, rainy, and cold all day Wednesday. Lily decided to put the new laptop to good use, as well.
So, a great way to spend our time inside playing (Trouble - the game), baking, and decking the halls.

Thursday, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving as a foursome. It was a bit lonely, but still nice. We had turkey, ham, stuffing, 
sweet potatoes, broccoli & cheese, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, and rolls. We rounded it all out with yummy Pumpkin gingerbread dessert! 
Once again, we enjoyed MANY rounds of Trouble and daddy put up the train...always a highlight of the season. 
We also were invited to a couple of neighbor's homes for drinks and laughs...good times.

The girls and I made our way to Concord Mills outlet mall for 5 hours of good hard shopping. We made a nice little dent in our Christmas list. The girls got a kick out of the merry-go-round and Lily continues to dislike opening her mouth for photos (due to the teeth issue).
Then we made our way to our hotel in Charlotte (thanks to a little Priceline bidding). The girls loved the adventure of snuggling in the king size bed and watching tv together.

This morning we were up and out by 9 AM. We stopped by the SouthPark Mall in Charlotte and we had a little Chik-Fil-A breakfast. 
We also completed gift buying for several people on our list. I even picked up 2 of these (the magnetic chalkboard version...in hot pink) for the bargain price of $12.99...super happy about that. After 3 hours at the mall, we were in the car and on our way back home. Fun little trip. Nice to be back home and thankful for Sunday!
