Thanksgiving 2011

This years Thanksgiving was extra special for us because we had it here at our house! It was SO SO fun having Beau's entire family (minus Kody of course) in Idaho with us! It's rear these days to get all of us together, so it was fun spending 3 whole days relaxing and hanging out, just enjoying each others company.
Cooking Thanksgiving dinner was tricky cooking everything here and with only one oven, but we all pitched in and pulled it off nicely! It was delicious if I do say so myself!

The adult table, Thanks to Tierra for decorating it.

Kid table. I covered the table in craft paper and gave them crayons, and Jana brought little boats filled with candy. I also made little turkey finger puppets. It was really cute and fun, but did not look like this for more than 20 seconds after they sat down. They loved it.

This was so funny. Of course by the time I grabbed my camera to take the picture they had moved, but after dinner we were all sitting around looking at the Black Friday adds and I looked over to see all the kids totally exhausted and cuddling on the floor. Kate was the community pillow and she loved it.
That night all of us girls went Black Friday shopping. We hit up Toys R Us first while we waited for the mall to open. We got in the store and started picking a few things up and then realized that the line to check out started at the front door and wound around the entire building...so we dropped everything and left. There was no way we were going to wait in that line for hours and miss the doors opening at the mall. We totally scored at the mall though! Tons of great deals on clothes and shoes for everyone. We shopped until 4 am and then headed home to get a few hours of sleep. It was really fun introducing everyone to the world of black Friday shopping. Can't wait until next year!
