THURSDAY-The day started off with going to church and playing at the park afterwards. Then we came home to watch football. It got a little depressing how quiet it was here. I really enjoy all the loud family gatherings and I missed that a lot. After having some snacks and Addison's nap, we headed to dinner. We had a great Thanksgiving Meal at Maggianos. I would recommend it to anyone who is not looking to cook. The food was delicious and they gave you so many different options. Addison enjoyed a turkey cookie we bought at a new bakery at The Grove.
FRIDAY-All 3 of us headed out to Anaheim to see the Blackhawk's play the Ducks. To top off the day Jim surprised us that Portillo's was right near the stadium, so we headed there for lunch. It was funny, because there were many other Chicago fans eating there too! It was as good as it always is. Addison did great at the game. She wasn't a fan when they dimmed the lights and the it got loud, but she was excited to hug the Duck and eat ice cream. I convinced Jim to stop at the The Grove Mall on the way home to get one last gift I needed. That place is so cute during the holidays. There is a picture of Addison ringing the bells to some ladies playing holiday music. We ended up eating dinner there outside (with a heater near by).
SATURDAY-We got up really early and ran a 5K in Santa Monica. It was my first and I enjoyed it. Addison was pushed in the jogging stroller by Jim. We headed to breakfast and then played at home. Then my cousin Lisa came to babysit Addison while Jim and I headed to the Notre Dame/USC game. We had a great time at the game, except that it started pouring the 3rd and 4th quarter. We stayed for a long time in the rain, but then enough was enough. Of course we missed the final touchdown and ND finally beating USC. It was fun anyways!!
Sunday we were lazy (well Addison and I were) and watched the Bear's win and took long naps, while Jim studied of course. I was so thankful to have Jim around for 4 days and all the fun things we got to do. We ended our weekend with dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. On the way home we gave Addison's extra pizza to a homeless lady, who looked like one of us. It was really sad. We felt good, but Miss Addison had a hard time that we gave her pizza away. Guess we have a lot of lessons of giving to others in the near future. Jim keeps reminding me "she's only 2". Enjoy some photos of our weekend.
