Our New Day-After Thanksgiving Tradition...

This year we started a new Day-After-Thanksgiving Tradition; and this is one tradition I intend to uphold for as long as I possibly can!

First, we slept in. Ahhhhhh.

Then, we got up for a lazy breakfast of toasted bagel breakfast sandwiches with farm fresh eggs (from our chickens), rich cheese, juicy tomatoes, and grilled mushrooms and onions.

After breakfast, Brice, Don, and the kids (so all the boys) headed to the Gym to work out and then swim at the indoor pool.

My mom and I dressed and headed into Coeur D'Alene for a couple hours of Christmas shopping. We hit the stores with the special one-day sale items we wanted; in-and-out, with very little waiting in lines at all.

And then, we drove to the Coeur D'Alene Resort Spa to finish off the day with a round of message, soothing showers, and facial treatments. Ahhhh.... now that's the life.

I had a pregnancy message, designed to focus in on the muscles that are most achy while pregnant. It was heavenly.

Fully relaxed and pampered by the spa treatments, we walked across the street for nice Italian dinner before heading home to rejoin the real world again.

What a lovely tradition though... Thanksgiving might just move into my top holiday spot with a tradition like this to look forward to.
