Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!! I think this year's Thanksgiving was the best one yet. Even though I didn't get to spend it with my husband (Fred Meyer is open on Thanksgiving......who the heck buys electronics on Thanksgiving day?!) at least I got to spend it with my parents and siblings, something that I was really looking forward to. Because of the darn snow our Thanksgiving dinner attendance was a bit lower then expected but we still managed to have about 20 people over at my Grandma's house. This past year my Mom and Grandma managed to put together some old home videos from the 60's and 70's and take them into Costco to convert to DVDs. So after dinner we all sat around and watched the videos which were hilarious. Even though there was no sound, costco was able to put the movies to music which was kind of nice. So funny to see the difference in hair styles and trends. Also kind of weird to think that I was no where near being in the picture, but that most of my cousins were babies in the movies. I forget sometimes there's such a big age gap since we all get along so well.
The rest of the time up north was spent hanging around the house with the fam. We did go Black Friday shopping in which we made it back to the house by 7:30AM, record time in my opinion since we hit 5 stores!!! Best part about it was that I am now done Christmas shopping!!!! WAHOO!!
Friday afternoon my Mom had her PreOp appointment for her surgery tomorrow. It was nice to go with her because I got to see where my Dad and I will be hanging out and just overall got a better idea of what's going to happen. Once we got done with that we headed home for a little fire action in our backyard. No matter rain or shine we seem to have a fire=). Since it was raining and cold I decided to borrow my Dad's camo coat and hat......I kind of wish I had gotten a picture because i'm sure I looked rediculous =). Oh well had to stay warm!
It was a great trip and I'm really thankful to have gotten to hang out with my Mom. I'm sure she'll be down for some time, but definitely not out. She's one tough cookie!
