Thankful

This year for Thanksgiving we spent the holiday at my parent's house. We usually spend our year in Branson but decided to change it up this year. I was bummed at first to miss out on Branson but as the time drew closer I was grateful for sometime at "home."

The Thursday prior to Thanksgiving Lincoln developed a terrible barking cough. We decided to let it run it's course but by Monday I decided to take him to the doctor. She agreed it was croup and prescribed him a steroid and inhaler with the orders to return Wednesday if not better. Wednesday rolled around and he was not better and fact worse. She checked for flu, strep and even sent us to the hospital for chest x-rays. All were clear. It was just a bad case of viral croup - a.k.a. no antibiotics can help so good luck! Fantastic. We did agree to discontinue the steroid b/c that was making him
cray-cray!! Never again.

Needless to say Linc was not feeling himself. We had a low-key holiday with lazy days filled with eating and a few adventures out for Black Friday deals.

Here is our turkey



Lincoln not feeling well



Emery not wanting her picture made



All cuddled up for movie night with Papa while me, Cory and mom went to see Catching Fire.



And Emery loving her first frosty from Wendy's on the ride home. (She did get that while thing to herself. We scooped out some for her in an empty cup).



So much to be thankful for. May we never take it for granted.
