Welcome Back!
I cannot believe it was a week ago that I was out shopping for 12 hours on Black Friday. We started at 10 in the morning and gave it up at 10:00 that night. Awesome day!
But first…a few pictures from Thanksgiving Day. This year, Jason and I took on preparing the entire meal.
Of course, Jason had to fish out the innards of the turkey. If you do not know at this time, I cannot stand raw meat and absolutely refuse to stick my hand/arm up that bird. Anyway, while Jason was trying to get the innards out, he kept saying, “I can’t get my hand in there! My arm is going to get stuck!! This bird’s chest is just to small!” At one point, he even held up the turkey to show how stuck his hand was.
Jason then recruited Jack to help him pull our the extra parts. Jack said, “NO WAY!” until I suggested a rubber glove.
Jack soon started joining Jason with the “It’s too small! I can’t get the parts out (What parts am I pulling out?)!”
I finally looked over to check out issue and said, “Can I make a suggestion? If you pull the innards out of the turkey’s rear end instead of its neck, you may have better luck.”
Complete silence. (that says it all)
Jason taught the kids how to pull a rubber glove all the way over their noses, blow it up and let it go to shoot across the room. Good Thanksgiving activity.
Jack had pumpkin pie for the first time and realized he was mising a little slice of heaven!
Sam is officially as tall as my dad. Well, maybe my dad has about a half inch on Sam.
And then it was Black Friday!
Mom and I started with coffee and looking over Christmas lists the bookstore to plan our day. Perfect start for holiday shopping!
We then headed to stores around the mall, where Megan joined us at the new Container Store! That is definitely one of my new favorite places!
(I think we have a photo bomber in the background!)
The last stop were a few stores in the mall. Mom wanted to look at winter coats and we had to pass the shoe section. Glad shoes were not on my list!
We looked around and there was not one sales person in the area. It was almost like they just left and I do not blame them!
So a successful thanksgiving, a successful Black Friday and a successful Christmas decorating the house weekend!
Hope you enjoyed your time and didn’t get you hand stuck in a turkey’s neck! 🙂
