Since we were all together yesterday for Thanksgiving we celebrated Grandma Jane's birthday before she left for home. Brett, Cam and Meg had all picked out some fun gifts for her including earrings, a sweater and big box of Russell Stover's. Cal decided that he would wait until her actual birthday to shower her with gifts. It also gave him a chance to eat lunch with her as well. Whether it was today or yesterday, I was just very happy that all of the Heinisch children were able to spend time with her to celebrate. I was also glad that I found this picture of her recently. It was a great one to post in honor of her day.
Nick, Meg and Cameron left for Fort Wayne this morning to participate in Black Friday shopping. It was definitely a little more low key this year as most stores remained closed on Thursday and didn't open until this morning. That worked out perfectly for our shoppers as they had some Christmas gifts to buy. They also found some good discounts on clothing for themselves. They stopped at Portillo's again for lunch. Meg said it was extremely crowded, so they decided to wear masks while they waited thirty minutes to order. They were home by 3 p.m. Meg and Nick left shortly afterward for Goshen. Cameron stayed home a little longer, but by 5:30 was out the door for Goshen as well. He, Sam, Jordan and Richard hung out at Klopfenstein's for the evening with Cameron ending up spending the night there.
Cal hung out with us last night. He had really been wanting to watch the 1980's version of The Thing. The original had been mentioned several times in the movie Halloween and it was remade by the Halloween director in 1982. I hadn't seen it in years and Doug, Cameron, Cal and I all really enjoyed it. It was a lot like the movie Alien, only set in Antarctica. Tonight Cal decided to see a movie in the theater instead. He and HM went to a late afternoon viewing of The Gucci Murder. He really liked it.
With Brett back in Bloomington and the rest of the Heinisch family busy, Doug and I had a quiet evening at home. We spent it making Chex Mix, playing Ticket to Ride and working on the Neuschwanstein Castle puzzle. It was nice to spend time with Doug as it had been a very busy week both at home and at his work. Meg and Nick made it home tonight in time to watch The Fox & The Hound with us. Although the movie was really sad, it was a nice way to end our evening.
