thanksgiving

so we did thanksgiving with my grandma and extended family this year.  it was alot of fun for the kids becuase they have not done it with this side of the family before.  we started the day with  me making pies and getting the house picked up.  after that is was loading the car and then realizing that the van was dead.  so after a quick jump we were off.  we had to stop and see a friends new baby 1st but then we got there just in time.  grandma always has table settings and cards for everyone and also really good food.  we also visited for a few hours afterwards and the kids had a great time playing with there cousins.  of course after a day with family it was then hitting th stores for the black friday sales.  i did really well and got most of what we needed for christmas. i just need to get the final touches but were thankfully still have a few weeks for that.  A-
