Thanksgiving & Black Friday

We had a great time on Thanksgiving. We went to the Ferguson's. Everyone but Dennis and Julie were there this year. All the little cousins were so cute together! The meal was fabulous, and we had a good time visiting. Here are some pictures of the fun!!

Lily found a new favorite ball

Ashley played a cute game with the girls while we waited for dinner.

Our fabulous meal!

The girls loved to play "cheers" with their princess cups

Lily had two ice cream cones of her own, and then went after Pheobe's.

Zach wanted in on that action, but was at a slight disadvantage, since he couldn't pull himself up.
And in the end, Lily got what she wanted!!
Friday morning bright and early...ok, so before it was actually "bright", my sisters, mom and I bundled up and headed out Black Friday shopping. It is one of my favorite things. The crazies, the adrenaline rush, and the great deals! I'm usually not after anything too crazy, toys and movies, but it is so fun! I don't know how we ever did it without cell phones though, we were constantly calling each other from across the store. Walmart is 24 hours, so we got to wait inside, and it always makes me laugh to walk by the people there for the big ticket items. They have staked their place and they tend to glare at everyone, daring them to try and get what they are after. One of these years it may be me, but for now, I am happy to be after the $5 barbies!! (Not nearly so competetive-although, I did have someone crawl under me to get at them....) We went to many stores, and felt the same thrill at each. I ended up with everything I wanted, and Christmas shopping done!! That's right! I only need to get Christmas dinner now!!
