Thanksgiving Day

As for Thanksgiving it was great we were all exhausted when it all done and over with. First to my mom and dad's where my mom had all 3 kids home with there spouse's. I can't remember when that happened. It was so much fun, lots of food, and then over to the Man's mom and dad where all his brother's and sister's wher there, tons of food again. But with a two major course within a 45 min period we had no holding back. I kids did but the Man and I didn't, for the fact each mom makes a favorite that we only get at Thankagiving. It made for a long day but well worth it. Seeing both of our families was just awesome. And isn't that what it's all about. We are so blessed to have family here in town. During the holidays more so I miss my dad & his 2nd half in Idaho, my mom in Oregon, my two sets of Grandparents in Idaho,and my sister's in Idaho and Arizona. I keep telling the Man one of these years we need to go Arizona and to Idaho and whereever my mom the traveling nurse lands on her feet. I did make the round of calls to them all that I could. But wheither near or far it's about family and letting them know we love and care about them deeply with all the love we can. We love our family all of them and wish we could spend every Holiday with them, but we can't we do what we can, too all of those who have family with them or far away

Black Friday

Yep, I did it I got up at 3:00am to go shopping and be at Kohls at 4:00. I met with my mother in law, my 2 sister's in law's and, one of my nieces. We did a full day of shopping I finally got home at 3:30 so 12 hrs from the time I left. We hit Kohls, which had awesome sales got some great things, then over to Sam's yep thats right Sam's got the three things I needed. Then we jumped back into the car and ran over to Target Greatland the one at 215. Can I just say MAD HOUSE, wait let me say that again MAD HOUSE. That store was so insane, that was the one place I did not have a plan for but some how manged to walk out of the store with a basket full.

They had some awesome deals, last week our DVD player broke, they had an awesome deal on a Sony player which we needed. The boys were so excited when I brought that home they think that and the slipper's they got are all the bought today. But oh they really don't know. We did the mall that parking lot was a MAD HOUSE but the store's weren't too bad. Didn't get much there, and then took a small lunch break at Salad Creations which non of my family had been there. They thought it was great, then I ran over to Costco for one thing. Yes I got in and out with the one thing I went to get. That is a first for me. I even used the new self checks. Yes for those of you haven't been to Costco they now have I think 5 Self Check out's in and out, it was so fast. Then over to crazy Walmart, but low and behold it wasn't too bad. I have to pull all the things out and start marking list's of what I bought. Oh I almost forgot the best OLD NAVY where they had everything 50% off. I was able to score there for the kids. I looked at the back of my car and thought ok I got a good start forgetting one whole bag was work clothes for me. But no biggie. I hope since last weekend to put the tree, didn't get to it last week.
