Thanksgiving - Day 4

The kids were exhausted from yesterday, so no one was up early. We did go upstairs for some breakfast and visiting. It was clear and warmer today - views from the hotel were spectacular. I went back to the room later and watched the Macy's parade and Godfather marathon. Got ready with Nicky and the girls and then went to watch football with Tim, Chuck, Andy and Kenny. Later, met everyone else for a family photo in the lobby. Thanksgiving dinner began around 1300L - what a great spread! Food was excellent and we had a fun time visiting (as we always do!). We had some left-overs but we got to take them to Bonnie's room. Watched some more football while Nicky and girls made plans to see the movie "Tangled" at the Mall of America. They took the shuttle over while I went outside to check on our car. Just as I was getting to it, I saw Leo chasing the shuttle across the parking lot. He had missed it, I guess, and needed a ride. After I got the car uncovered and started (heater too a LONG time), I took Leo over to the Mall (the closest I plan to get to it during the trip). Roads were slippery and barely plowed... Explored near the hotel and then met the guys for a little more sports. Enjoyed the evening with everyone - had some good Thanksgiving leftovers, too! Everyone else returned around 2000L. Spirits were high and it was pretty busy everywhere I turned in the room. Called Katie and Carolyn (everyone got to chat this time - that was nice). Actually went to bed a little earlier tonight.
