A week with Mom and Dad

Hello Everyone ! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and were able to spend lots of time with those you love. Although we were unable to be in Seymour for Thanksgiving, I was blessed to have my parents spend the week with us in Maine. Mom and Dad arrived on Monday with the Trailblazer in tow!

My parents helped us unload the Trailblazer and organize our apartment. Then, Monday night we took Mom and Dad out to Napoli's a local Italian restaurant in Caribou. On Tuesday, we finished organizing the apartment and we went shopping ! Mom and Dad bought me my first pair of snow boots.

For lunch, we went to Ruby Tuesday. It is so nice to have a East TN restaurant all the way up here in Maine. That afternoon we did quite a bit of grocery shopping. Tuesday night, we had our first Maine lobster dinner. We ordered soft shell lobsters from a local store, and Mom made baked potatoes, broccoli with cheese sauce, and garlic knots. It was delicious !

For dessert, we had whoopie pies !

On Wednesday, we did lots of cooking, Mom and Dad helped me make pot roast, a husband's delight casserole,  and chex mix. Dustin got off work early, and we went to see Skyfall, the new James Bond movie in Presque Isle. On Thursday, we headed over to Canada to see Grand Falls and enjoyed lunch at the 787 Bistro. It was hard not being in Seymour for Thanksgiving, but we enjoyed spending time together in a different country! I wish Scott and Sam could have been here.

Mom and Dad left early Friday morning, and they arrived back in Seymour tonight. I am so glad they were able to come to Maine to help us settle in. We are truly blessed to have all their love and support. It has  been a great first week in Caribou!
