Thanksgiving & Black Friday

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. In tradition we woke up and Jason went to grab the newspapers so we could go through the black friday ads. Dawn and I were like 2 little kids on Christmas morning as we plowed through each ad multiple times making our lists. We watched the parade and then headed to Nana's for dinner number 1 with my family. The food was delicious as usual and then we celebrated the December birthdays while we were all together. Many thanks again to everyone for the gifts and cards. We left there and headed to the JoAnne's house for dinner #2 with Jason's family. Yummy goodies again...I think I gained 5 lbs overall, but we had the perfect plan for working that off.

Dawn and I woke up early and met my mom & my cousin's wife Laura Friday at 3am (Toys R Us). We continued to shop from store to store to store. Grabbed a lot of great deals and finished at least 75% of my shopping. We stopped around 7am for breakfast a Friendly's. Mom and Laura were done by about 11am, but Dawn and I weren't quite ready to quite. Hit another store or 2 then refueled with a quick lunch at Taco Bell. Went to pickup JoAnne and then continue on our shopping adventure. We finally finished (crashed from exhaustion) at 5pm....14 hours!!! A new record. It was so much fun getting to spend such a fun day with some of my favorite girls!! Can't wait for next year!!
