We had another small but nice Thanksgiving this year. Tyson did most of the cooking which makes it a wonderful day for me. When it was time for turkey Lilly refused to eat anything. Since Lilly doesn’t eat often we really didn’t think anything of it. The food was delicious and the company was nice.
In the evening we decided to try a Wirick tradition and do a
Pie Night. We had a good turnout of friends. During Pie Night Lilly started
getting really clingy. I could tell she wasn’t feeling well so I took her
temperature. She had a fever of 104 degrees. We ended up quarantining her
upstairs while she watched Frozen. She was sad she couldn’t be with all the kids
but I would have felt bad if everyone else got sick.

| One with all of us. |
The fever wasn’t breaking and it was making us really
nervous so we let her sleep in the bed with us. It ended up being a 24 hour
thing and she was feeling well the next day. We finally took her to the doctor
about three weeks after Thanksgiving because she kept getting those crazy high
fevers. She ended up having strep. Poor girl, it was not a fun Thanksgiving for
her.
One thing I miss about not being home with family during
Thanksgiving is the day after shopping trip with the girls. I don’t want to do
any of the crazy Black Friday shopping but it was always a fun tradition to go
shopping with the girls. After all the work he did on Thursday, Tyson did not
want to go shopping with me and I couldn’t bring Lilly because she was sick.
(And I wouldn’t bring Bennett because he is naughty while shopping.) I ended up going to a couple of stores by
myself but it was a little lonely.
