Thanksgiving 2009

1. My mom is a wonderful cook and our dinner was yumm-o!

2. Caitlin was the perfect little helper with her cousins.

3. We were all together as a family.

4. I don't recommend playing cards with my brother, Mike.

5. Clint and I were in Walmart at 3:30 am for the Black Friday sale, we got what we went for (and more) and will most likely never repeat shopping like that again.

6. With my mom's help, I figured out a cute ornament for my girls in Activity Days to make this week.

7. Loved holding and loving on my nieces and nephew.

8. Had a nice visit and another yummy meal with my Grandma and Aunt Jerrie

9. Got more shopping done. Found Clint some new clothes and myself another pair of red shoes (I know I shouldn't be shopping for myself!).

10. Watched the movie- The Blind Side. I highly recommend it, very inspiring.

11. Clint cut lots of branches from Cedar and Juniper trees for me to use to decorate our porch.

12. After spending the long weekend with my family, I still don't know what to get any of them for Christmas.

13. The traffic on the way home wasn't too bad and our hamster was still alive.

14. Still have the fun of December to look forward to...

Sounds like a wonderful holiday. If you figure out the extended family gift thing, let me know.

How fun! I only do online shopping after Thanksgiving. I hate crowds now. I also hate that they keep the stores so hot. I know you are laughing because you were probably freezing!
(My word verification was clunter. Is that like clutter on the counter? I definately have clunter!)
