Happy Holidays


I was really bad at having my camera ready this year to take pictures, but we still had a great Thanksgiving. I cooked over at my dads house since his kitchen and dining room is way bigger than ours. I love to cook holiday meals! We had a huge dinner with just about everything, but Justin was picky and would only eat corn and rolls.....We just relaxed, ate, and watched some football, and helped decorate my dads Christmas tree. I went thru the sale ads making my map for black friday shopping. I had everything planned out according to the times the stores opened and what I wanted from each store. I have gone shopping every year since I was a teenager, and I didnt think I was going to be able to go because money was tight, but my dad had me do his shopping for our presents from him. I got a ton of stuff for great price. I got up at 2am and was at old navy by 2:30 because they opened at 3 but they were a MAD HOUSE, people were putting their stuff done and leaving, which is what I did too. I hit then about 4 other stores. It was fun and productive, but I was beat when I got home around 9am. We had our Christmas tree up the weekend before Thanksgiving, and here is a picture of the tree (which I might add that it was a 15 dollar craigslist purchase that is a 3 piece and prelight tree :), but my camera is junk so the picture doesnt look very good. So far Justin does great with not pulling it over and Wade crawls over to it and touches the bottom ornaments but that is about the extent. We are really excited for Christmas!
