Thanksgiving was wonderful. I spent 5 days in Earlville, IL where my mom's family is. It was hard not seeing my parents but I will see them soon! On Tuesday I went snowboarding. It was fun but really hard. My body is still recovering. Wednesday we shoveled snow twice! And I think we will have to shovel again tomorrow. Thursday we decorated the Christmas tree in the dining hall. The tree is huge, and very pretty. We also decorated stockings and hung them by the fire place. I will take pictures soon. I am tired and still very sore. Hope everyone is doing well. Love.
