Thanksgiving came and went and once again it was good food, great family time, and lots to be thankful for!Max and I are truly blessed with all the amazing things we have going for us in our lives... Our family, who we love very much, the true friends who have always been there for us, Ryder who keeps laughter in our home, Mickey--who I swear is the most calm and peaceful dog in the world, our house that we are lucky enough to call home, our jobs that help us to provide for our family with, our faith that keeps hope in our hearts, and last but not least, we are thankful for eachother.
It doesn't get much better than that :)
Thank you to anyone/everyone who falls into any of the above categories in our lives! Well....If Thanksgiving was here, that means BLACK FRIDAY also came!! I spend a lot of time arguing my case for BF shopping, but mostly it comes down to this -- Black Friday shopping is about the experience, it's about a fun holiday tradition with my mom and my sister, and if we happen to get some good deals while we're at it, then so be it! This year we tried something new and attempted to do some shopping on Thanksgiving night at Toys R Us and then spend the night with my Uncle in St.Cloud... Well, that didn't exactly happen. We drove past the store and said, ummm.....no thank you--the line was out the door and alllllll the way around to the back of the store and it was eleven degrees outside! We headed to my uncles and decided that the deals would still be there in the morning so we went to sleep and at 5:40am we were at it again! Started at Toys R us, then headed to Target and the mall.... It was a successful day shopping to say the least and I accomplished a lot! Now I can't wait to *hopefully* head to Holidazzle Parade tonight (depending on how Ryder is feeling), go to Turck's Trees tomorrow to have a chit-chat with Santa Claus and pick out our Christmas tree. Then we will string the lights and decorate the house and life will be just grand :)
