DeLange News: Thanksgiving and catching up

Well again I have let time fly away from me and it has been way too long since I have posted. But I like to think I have a good excuse with being a student......thankfully that is just about over for the semester! I just took my hardest exam (microbiology) this morning, and now just have to finish 2 english journals and take the english test (super easy though so no biggie). So glad to be done with the semester though, christmas break is going to be an excellent break for me and I am excited.

We have been very busy the last few weeks with thanksgiving, then all the christmas preparations as well as trying to finish up the busiest part of the semester.

Thanksgiving:

We had such a fun time, we left Milwaukee early wednesday morning and headed to Dearborn. We were able to go to my parents church for the thanksgiving service that night, which was great to see people again, and then celebrated my dad's birthday that evening. We had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner with my mom's side of the family at my parent's house. As usual my mom out-did herself and we had an awesome dinner. Friday morning my sister and cousin and I went 'black-friday' shopping, very early in the morning. We had done the same thing last year so knew where we wanted to go and what stores would have the best deals.

We then headed to Grant for the weekend. We were able to go with the family to cut down the christmas tree, which was great fun! The whole DeLange family got together saturday night, and it was quit the party. I think there was a grand total head count of about 23? I don't know, I lost count, haha, it was so fun though. On sunday we were then able to go to my grandparent's house for our third thanksgiving celebration. It was a very busy long weekend, but as always we had fun.
