Eventhough we had 4 days off from work we had quite a busy schedule seeing family and getting things done in between. It doesn't seem like we were home at all this weekend.
Thursday we went to grandma Hurst's house. We had a big turn-out with 23 people. We squeezed together and all had a good time catching up. The rest of the afternoon we read the paper and made a game plan for the next morning. I haven't missed a Day-After-Thanksgiving sale in about 6 years. Me and Elise were scheduled to be the shoppers this year. Mom lives a little too far out to drive to Abilene in the middle of the night and she volunteered to keep Haley for the night. Amber had to be at work @ 8am at Target so she didn't want to get up early. I ventured out of the bed around 3:45AM on Friday and headed to Wal-mart to meet Elise. (she had been there since 1:30am after she got off work). So we got everything on our list and even a few extra things we couldn't live without. I am proud to say that I am about 85% done with my christmas shopping and I even saved quite a bit of money.
Eventhough I got up so early on Friday, After all the shopping was done we loaded up and went to Throckmorton to have Thanksgiving with Willie's family. We decided to have Mexican food this year because we knew we would be all Turkey'ed out from the day before. It was such a good idea and we are thinking about doing that again next year.
Saturday was more Turkey and Dressing at my mom's new house in the country for lunch. Haley was excited about going out and playing with the kitty. After Saturday I was pretty much done looking at food. We spent the rest of the weekend cleaning house and resting up for Monday.
Here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving weekend.
