Our Thanksgiving started with a visit from our friends. Erica and Carson stopped by. Andrew was convinced to come by later and I snapped a few pictures of them. Jason was awesome and shoveled a path through the snow for Erica. I have to say, Jaymee is incredible to get good family pictures. I don't think there was a single one that would be "wall worthy", Carson was not impressed with this idea and that didn't help.
A little while later, Joe and Tyler showed up. I am so happy they came! Joe brought the turkey fryer with him, and we made the rest. It was a relaxing, and fun day. Oh, and the food was good too.
There was A. LOT. OF. THIS. Ethan and Jason got a Cabela's hunting game a week ago, and they love it. Hours and hours and hours of this game.
After Elliott was in bed, Jason and I headed out. That's right. Black Friday! Toys R Us opened at 10, and even though we were there 2 hours early, we were still almost 100th in line. Two hours went by fast, and we forgot how cold we had been once we were inside. It was insane, but we didn't have any waiting or fighting since we were some of the first people in.
It's serious business! This lady even had a shirt. I am already prepared to get one for next year.
Happy Shopper! Checking out at Toys R Us, then onto Wal-Mart, Old Navy and back to Toys R Us at 5:00am.
We got home at 5:30am, went straight to bed, and at 7:30 sharp, "Mom! Mom!". Elliott was up. Ethan and Tyler got up with him, so we got a little more time to sleep, then we were up for the day.
The Holiday Parade was last night, and our ice rink had a float. Ethan, Jason, Elliott and I all walked along carrying signs and handing out candy.
It was cold, but we all made it to the end.
I couldn't resist changing the blog to Christmas. I can't wait!
