WOW what a wonderful day.
I love Thanksgiving; it is one of my favorite days of the year; mostly because it kicks off the "holiday season". Which is my favorite season.
We hosted Thanksgiving again this year and Gram Z came as well as Uncle Ray, Uncle Norb, Jeff, Dawn & Nick. Oh and all 6 of us... Sammie had to work but she made it home for dessert.
This year Hayley made the Chocolate Pie all by herself (I wish I would have remembered to take pictures). Everything was great.
After dinner I spent some time mapping out my shopping plan for today. I got up at 4am and off I went to get the "great deals". It was pure craziness just as it always is, but it's just so exhilarating too. I waiting in line at Walmart for 2 hours to check out! I had somethings I wasn't willing to give up so I waited! Then on to as many other stores as I could fit in.
I finished up by meeting up with friends for lunch and then home, where I felt like doing nothing so when Kirk & Sammie both left for work and Hayley went to a Slumber Party I curled up on the couch with all my boys and enjoyed Fred Claus which starts up my personal tradition of a Christmas movie every night until Christmas; on school nights we watch a short cartoon type movie like The Grinch and then when the kids go to bed I watch a grown up Christmas movie by myself and Kirk runs to any other tv in the house to avoid this :)
Hopefully tomorrow we can decorate or at least get the tree out.
OH I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!!
