Our Thanksgiving rocked this year! And this is why...
(all packed and ready to leave Draper. Our BF purchases are hidden under all this stuff so the kids couldn't see!)
1. James had off school Wed - Fri. So Wednesday morning, we woke up, cleaned, packed and drove to Draper!
2. I made Banana Creme and Chocolate Creme Pie and they both were freaking amazing.
3. I didn't overeat. It's true. No stomach ache after dinner.
4. I ran while in Draper. (I've been running 3-4 times a week!)
5. I DID BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING!!
It was the greatest adrenline rush and I will now be doing it every year. I scored awesome deals and my Christmas shopping is literally done. Plus, my inlaws and husband were way too much fun to do late night CRAZY shopping with.
6. We went to the temple as a family.
7. I got to see my college buddy, Katie, my singles ward friend, Kim, AND my Logan friend, Natalie.
8. Watching Porter play with his cousins was hilarious. From their very intense conversations about the paper they were holding to their races around the house - it was all too great.
9. Paige and Porter practially entertained themselves the entire weekend. Grandma's house is way too much fun.
10. We came home to a clean house at a decent hour. (I swear we're usually rolling into Logan at 10pm!)
So funny to see you in the temple waiting room!! Happy that those five minutes made the list (and that James was able to identify me by my stomach. I'm still laughing about that!!!)
ReplyDeleteHaha...we laughed about it the whole way home. How could he say that?! :) James's sister said when he heard James say that she thought "Well I hope they know each other really well?"
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Sounds like an awesome time. I tried Black Friday shopping this year as well. I agree it is kind of a rush!
ReplyDeleteHopefully we get to see you around Christmas this year!
