Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving morning... the girls climbed into bed with us and we watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade!! Then we all went downstairs for breakfast and to watch some football. David originally had planned to play in the Turkey Bowl at church but wasn't feeling the best and so he decided to pass and stay home as a family :)
Playing Doctor TOGETHER!


We went to Thanksgiving Dinner #1 at his parent's house and had a lovely meal outside on the patio! The light sprinkles of rain really made it beautiful!

Notice David looking at the ads!

Cousin Emma!

They are like little best friends!! 



Then we headed down to my parent's house for #2!
It was fun taking turns going around the table and saying what we were thankful for! (My favorite tradition) After dinner my cousins came over for dessert and we enjoyed the visit! That night David went home and the girls and I stayed at my parent's house and spent the night so we could get a head start on Black Friday!

David and I went to scout out the deals and inventory around 8:30, then my Aunt, Brother and I went around 10:15 IT WAS CRAZY!!! We waiting in line just to park and had to push and shove our way through the store just to walk ahhh We all got a few things and then headed back to the house for sleep! At 4:20 I woke my brother and we ran outside as my older sis pulled up! We hopped in the car and headed to Starbucks and then the first of MANY store that day!
17 stores.... in 7 hours!
Then I went back to my Mom's and picked up the girls and took them home for a nap!
David stopped by Family Christian and Kohls on his way home and then I headed back out to the Anthem Outlets with my little sis and niece! We went to 8 more stores and then it was about 6pm!! It was dark and we were ready to go home! 

We obviously didn't buy something at every store but it was a fun and crazy day running in and out of store with my brother and sisters!! 25 stores over 10 hours... it was a BLAST!

I am so thankful for my Mom who watched the girls and that my siblings and I still love to do our Black Friday shopping together!!

I am so THANKFUL for my sweet little family, my loving and hard working husband and my sweet girls that bring my so much joy daily!
