Thanksgiving

11 - November

There is never a dull moment when the Blume Family is here. We spent the day doing all the things, but also just spending time together.

Of course, we took family pictures, and the kids did their traditional silly picture. I think this one wins the day!

Kristena also managed to get a great picture of Andy and I…

…and our kids.

After pictures, we ate. We ate a lot. We ate a lot a lot.

It was a great day spent with family. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

Sick

11 - November

John stayed home from school yesterday and again today. As we were driving home from Cape Girardeau, John called to say that his ear hurt, so I made an appointment at Mizzou Quick Care. Sure enough, he had an ear infection. Here is to hoping that the antibiotics kick in quick, and he feels better before family arrives tomorrow.

Top of the Marq

11 - November

Andy and I have been wanting to try the Top of the Marq restaurant in Cape Girardeau for a while now. The food was amazing, and the drinks were just as good. Unfortunately, the only picture that I took all day was of the Christmas tree in the Marquette Tower building, but it is still a reminder of a great dinner spent with my husband.

River Ridge Winery

11 - November

Since we are in Cape Girardeau until Tuesday, Andy and I decided to spend a little time celebrating our anniversary. We did not take a trip on our anniversary, so we made the most of this trip. We spent the day at River Ridge Winery outside Scott City, Missouri.

We discovered a lot of very tasty, dry wines that we really loved. We also enjoyed good food and live music by the fireside.

We wrapped up the evening enjoying dinner at Mary Jane Bourbon + Smokehouse with Laura.

It was the perfect day.
