Hi Mom,

Just catching up after a good long holiday break.  I took Wednesday off and then Thursday/Friday were holidays for Thanksgiving.  So, It was a nice 5-day weekend.

We had a great time with Ken and Mona.  They got in around 12N on Wednesday and left this morning around 8:45am.  We watched a lot of football, played dominos, watched movies, ate and went on a couple of drives.  Thursday we ate around 2pm after Theresa prepared all day - funny to fix for 6 hours then to eat it all up in 10 minutes.  We watched the Greenbay/Detroit game on Thursday, Tigers/Jayhawks on Saturday, and Denver/San Diego + KC/Pittsburgh on Sunday.  Saturday night we watched Secretariat - good one to watch again.  On Friday we took a ride in the Prius around Boulder - new neighborhoods, church, CU, Boulder High, Centennial.  Saturday Chloe drove us up into the mountains - Nederland, Eldora, Ward - the roads were surprisingly snowy higher up.  We tried to head to the theater on Saturday afternoon to see "The Descendants" but it was sold out.  The girls stayed and saw "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" and the adults just went home.  Sunday morning I played at church for both services.  Ken and Mona went to mass at Sacred Heart then met up with Theresa and Megan for breakfast at IHOP afterwards.

The girls and I put up our Christmas lights and Angels on Wednesday while waiting for Ken and Mona to arrive.  It was almost 70F so it was too nice a day to pass up climbing on the roof.

Chloe and Megan also went to check out the black Friday sales at 6:15am. Chris Leitz picked them up with Clara and dropped the girls off at Target first.  Then Marlys took them from Target to Flatiron Crossings Mall from around 8am to 1pm.  They were wiped out.  They came home with some finds but I don't think they were overly enamoured with Black Friday.  I guess they just had to experience it first hand.

Everybody is back to the routine today. Theresa had some doctor appts down this way today so I met up with her for a hotdog lunch at Costco.

I'm sure there are a million other details too but....

luv u,

Jeff
