Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was a little different than years past. We stayed in Springfield instead of heading to St. Louis and my parents decided to host this year. John's step-dad Derrick started his Chemo treatments Monday before Thanksgiving so we spent a few days visiting with him at the hospital. John's mom wanted to keep Derrick company so we brought them some yummy food at the hospital to enjoy. He was released Saturday and will be back in 5 weeks for his second treatment.
