We had a great thanksgiving dinner--Bryan was GREAT and cooked the majority of it. It turned out delicious--the stuffing was amazing! We really enjoyed the long break and played a ton of games and watched movies, and of course, shopped.
Karissa and I had GREAT, CRAZY FUN at black Friday. We started at 9:00pm Thurs. night and shopped 'til 12noon on Friday! First off, we stood in line for 3 hours to get our trampoline--and we did get it!--we were 2nd in line :) It just got better from there on. We were very focused :) and stuck with our plan---got all we had planned to get, except for the Scooter Karissa wanted at Target---because Target was complete madness. But it all worked out because she found something even better at Smith's, our last stop. We hit Wal-mart a few times...Target, Old Navy, Justice, Kohl's, Roberts, Big Lots, and Smiths.
And I must say, Wal-mart was the most organized and most pleasant. We managed to stand in lines of 5-10 min. or less---we were FAST. Except Target---that was our 1 hour line.
BUT our BEST stop was at Chick-fil-a where we got a COMPLETELY FREE and DELICIOUS breakfast, including the best peppermint shakes! The moment we walked in we were handed coupons---we used them with other coupons I had---and our complete meal was FREE, and they were even kind enough to make Karissa french fries at 7:00am. Chick-fil-a is my new favorite restaurant!
Bryan's now working on building a mini-smoker for us. It's a pretty intense project, and as a sacrifice our vehicles have been out in the cold, snow---but he's been very good to help scrape windows for us and drive kids to school. And Jacob has been having fun shoveling cement---we have at least twice as much cement now! It reminds me of when Jacob used to beg to load the dishwasher because it was so much fun. I wonder how long shoveling cement will remain 'fun'!
