Thanksgiving and beyond

our little family spent Thanksgiving at Grandma J's house with some of daddy's family. we had food galore and had a lot of fun visiting, reminiscing, telling about our lives, and just being thankful for our blessings and each other. it was a restful, relaxing, enjoyable day...one of the best, i think!

yesterday morning cory & i got up at 3:30-ish to get ready and head out for the black friday sales. we got most of our shopping done after about 5 or 6 hours and driving between towns to get to different stores and sales. we got most of what we were hoping for & most of what we wanted. it was actually really fun, and since mama stayed home with the kids, it was kind of like a "date".

we spent most of the day resting & just being together...trying to recover from our early morning! in the afternoon, we went outside and the kids played on the swings & adam pitched ball & logan climbed trees. then we all worked together & built an awesome bonfire. we topped the evening off by eating some great spaghetti that mama fixed & then playing family feud (the dvd version) and crashing for the night....some of us were still worn out!

the shopping was a lot more fun than i had thought it would be. but part of that was us being together. the other was getting some things for people that i really think they will like.

it was one exciting holiday, thats for sure! i set my alarm for 4am so i could get some early bird shopping done, however my effots were futile as my alarm didnt wake me up! i guess my body just isnt built for 4am shopping!

logan heard your alarm & thought it was milo barking, so he let him out of his bedroom. just odd that YOUR alarm woke up LOGAN. he's usually OUT when he's asleep. it was early, but i was so excited that it made it easier to get up.

gobble gobble! That's all I did!

you can't beat that!

You know, Logan has slept through alarms that went off right beside his head...so that is amazing that Adam's alarm woke him. Of course, if he equated it with Milo that could explain it, because he really does look out for Milo.
