Well the best part of Thanksgiving break was all the time together - especially with Mack. The World Cup started that week so we spent a lot of time on the couch cheering for our favorites. More to come in future posts.
In between games Mack earned a little cash by sawing the hot tub into pieces - saved us the $350 removal fee. Who knew that was what a hot tub looked like cut in half?!
For Thanksgiving dinner we were on our own so we invited Jessica and Etta over and enjoyed the feast with them. Etta loved my rolls and we all enjoyed her lemon meringue pie.
Fernando, the exchange student from Spain came and cooked dinner for us. When he started frying the potatoes in a huge pot of olive oil I was worried but the Tortilla de Patatas he made us was quite delicious. And he made Andrew help every step of the way.
Lily loved her Mack time and we were all sad to see him head back to school.
For a last party, and a reward for the kids watching their word choice for two weeks, we went to an escape room. It was Alice and Wonderland themed and it was such a blast.
Somehow we managed to accidentally hijack the system and open a door early, so they gave us a $100 gift card so we could come back.
It was a great week off from school, but hard to go back knowing the World Cup was still going on and we couldn't enjoy all the games together.
