Thanksgiving and More

Our break started Wednesday with a visit to see my grandfather in the hospital followed by a little house cleaning, pie baking, and Christmas tree decorating.




Unfortunately, Thanksgiving Day didn't exactly lend itself to picture taking seeing as how I had food in both hands for the majority of the day. The only picture I have is one from Patrick's phone. But it does capture that beauty that was our Thanksgiving turkey . . . prior to being devoured that is.


It was a great day full of food, fun, and family. 

Yesterday, Sarah and I ventured out for Black Friday. The only way she got me to go Black Friday shopping was that I made her promise we would have a good lunch. The following conversation went down via text Thursday night. Keep in mind that I had been eating all! day! long!


Most of the time Red Lobster is not my first choice for seafood, but crab . . . well, crab is always my first choice. 

We started the morning at Wal Mart, which was surprisingly dead, and Sarah started the day by breaking the self checkout. 


After, fixing that problem, we flew through four or five other stores as quickly as possible because, let's face it, I had my eye on the prize people . . . crab legs.

But before we got to the crab legs, I bought this for my mom because this is what she wants for Christmas . . . an electric toothbrush . . .  and no, I'm not kidding.


Shopping was surprisingly pleasant, and last night we took Andrew to see "Wreck it Ralph" which was okay but not great. Then he fell asleep, at 7:15, on the way home. I put him to bed when we got home hoping that he'd sleep all night. Unfortunately, he woke up at 9:15 and thought it was morning. He finally fell back asleep around midnight (he wasn't up that whole time, but he was awake). 

Today, I went back to Wal Mart and finished up a bit of shopping. Then I wrapped presents. 


And I ordered these because I need want them, and they're super cute.


Thanksgiving break is almost over, and Monday it's back to work. But Christmas is only a month away and will be here before we know it. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! And hope you enjoyed your food as much as I. ;)
