Faith's First Thanksgiving

Written by: Hobee

This Thanksgiving was like no other I have ever had.  We woke up SUPER early (thanks Faith).  At around 5:30 the whole house was up.  Dan, Annie, Dick, and MaryAnn.  We had to wait over three hours for the parade to start.  Usually our goal is to wake up to see some of the parade.

Well, after we all got going we had a great time.  It snowed through the night, so we woke up to a great view of the lake.

After the parade Julia and Rick came over, with Sampson.  Just in time for the Lions game.  During the game Suzanna, her sister, and Jetta arrived.

We had a great time.  8 people, 3 dogs, and a baby.  Great food, good times, and great news!

Dennis' bachelor party

Saturday marked the end of an era. The last Virginia street Pi Pi Cake celebrates the last days of bachelorhood.

This was a great night. The limo picked us up from the Holiday Inn, Detroit, and took us too the Cadaux Cafe for feather bowling. They opened early for us. We had drinks and a few games.

Next up was a distillery, then off to Greektown for dinner. Even though the restaurant was authentic, Dennis still ordered chili cheese fries. When told no, he opted for Saganaki with French fries on top.

The. Extra stop was the Joe. Redwings lost to Ottawa, but we still had fun.

Next a cab took us to the Detroiter for a few pitchers of beer before heading out to the Casino. Craps, blackjack, and drinks at the bar closed down the night.

Final stop for the evening was Lafayette Coney for late night coneys before heading back.

One of the best bachelor parties I have been to. Not a misstep in the night.
