Thanksgiving weekend was great!

Thanksgiving was nice! Mom and I had a good time preparing the food together. I am very grateful that she and Dad came over to help! I am sure Ron and I could have handled it, but it was nice. The dressing and the cranberry salad both turned out great! The dressing was a little on the sage/poultry seasoning side, but we know what we did so we can fix it next time! After we ate, the boys played on the Wii and outside, the guys watched TV and movies and us ladies looked through the ads for Black Friday shopping, then we went to Michael's for their Thanksgiving sale (Cricut Cartridges). I bought 3 and my sister bought 2, even though JoAnn's had them cheaper on Saturday. I wanted to make sure I got the ones I wanted. I will take back the ones that I was able to get at JoAnn's cheaper! Black Friday shopping was a success too! I took my niece with me and we left my house for Target at 4:15 a.m. We waited in line at Target for about 30 min., it was cold but not unbearable! We got the things we wanted there, got checked out and headed to K-Mart. I was in search of a netbook (for Zach from Grammy), they had sold out, so we left and headed back to Target because I realized I had forgotten a few things. Let me just say that in the early morning hours, you should double check which car you are getting into! Got what we needed at Target and headed to WalMart. Called my Uncle who was buying a Karaoke machine (huge on my wish list) at Sears.com, so made a pit stop at Sears, got the Karaoke machine and headed on to WalMart. My sister had already gotten a few of the things at WalMart, got the rest of what I thought I needed/wanted, and decided to head to the other K-Mart in town just to see if they had the netbook! THEY DID! I got the LAST ONE!! Let me just say, there is an awesome feeling/high that comes from getting the last item from a Black Friday sale (especially when another person comes up that was after the same item). I know that is really not nice, but it's truthful! So I was pretty happy with my purchases to say the least!
