For Thanksgiving this year we went out to Amanda's. We left Wednesday morning and did a lot of Christmas shopping that day. We had Thanksgiving dinner with Amanda's family, Dan, Nikki and Wake, Nikki's parents and brothers, and Ben's mom and dad. It was great food and great company. After we ate, Amanda had little gifts for the kids and then the adults did a gift exchange. Then almost everyone went to the movies. While they were gone we went with Alan to visit Ben's Aunt Renee and Uncle Steve. It was fun to see them, it had been a while. After that, it was on to the Black Friday shopping. We did a lot of it online which was really nice! Ben went to Wal-Mart with John to get some DVD players for the car and some X-Box games. They had games that are normally $50 on sale for $15. Ben stood in line for those and when the time came that they could grab them, Ben grabbed what he needed and hit the floor, with the games under his belly, because people were trying to take them out of his hands. Then people were trampling over him, and when they realized he had games under him, they were still trying to steal them out from underneath him. He was finally able to escape and go check out, but he came home with scratches on his arms and face! He was so proud of himself. He loves Black Friday! People turn into such nuts, including my husband! I was glad to be the one sitting at Amanda's on my laptop doing my shopping in my pajamas! On Friday we did a little more shopping before heading home.
I did not take one picture of Thanksgiving dinner, the only ones I got were in the car on the way out, and then in the car while we were shopping on Friday.
Monica came out to Vernal for Thanksgiving, so once we got home Friday, we got to hang out with her a little. On Saturday we went to lunch with MiKell, Mom and Grandma. Then we went to Santa's Workshop at the Middle School and the Festival of Trees at the Western Park.
