Thanksgiving weekend we were here at our house. My parents & sister, Mary, and her family came here for the big day. After being gone for 5 days walking it sure was nice to just stay here at my house and not have to travel. We had a very nice dinner and Haleigh & Lauren had a blast drawing fake tattoos on everyone. :) Mom & Dad left mid afternoon to head out to Wyoming to spend time with Derek and his family. Mary and I decided to get the girls to sleep and we were going out to do midnight madness shopping at Jordan Creek mall. We started out at Toys R Us and holy cow!!! What a crazy mess...we had only a few things to get and we were so excited we only had to wait in line outside for about 10 min. Once inside it was madness! After finding our way through the store and getting our few things we needed or wanted we went to get in the end of the never ending line! While heading that way we witnessed a gentleman having a seizure and so while someone else was attending to him we blocked the aisle so no one could get down that way. What a night of memories. The gentleman I believe was okay but we had a few laughs. While waiting in line one of the employees was explaining to another customer about how this gentleman had a chemical embalance and that is what causes seizures. I guess you had to be there to laugh because it was hilarious. Thankfully we had some enjoyable people to stand around while we waited 45 min to check out. After Toys R Us we headed to Jordan Creek Mall. We found a few deals and had a lot of fun shopping. Shortly after 3:30am we headed to Target and thought about going in. Once we saw the line we decided to wait and watch the crowd run into Target. That was the funniest thing I have seen in a while as Mary said "This was like watching cattle get feed for the first time" Needless to say we had a very good Thanksgiving and will probably be making this shopping excursion a yearly event.
December came and went so fast but we had a lot of fun. Christmas was spent in Cherokee at mom & dad's house. The kids are all growing so much and the family is getting so big. These girls are all loved by their aunts, uncles & grandparents. We had a very good Christmas and had a lot of fun looking back at pictures from the year.
