We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We set up our Christmas tree, so we had something pretty to look at while we ate dinner. We had some friends over to eat with us. We had five cute boys running around. The food was so great! Everything turned out so good.
Needless to say after we got the tree up and looking just the way we wanted it, the boys stripped it of its ornaments and has knocked it down several times.
Dallin can strip the tree in a matter of seconds. I am not sure how he does it so fast. The tree has been in time out at least once and since then we haven't had to redo the whole thing.
The boys had a great time during Thanksgiving. They didn't eat that much, so we figure next year we will do it during their nap time so all of us adults can enjoy the meal. :) After we ate we watched football and played a little Mario Kart. We are so grateful for our family and friends who we missed dearly on Thanksgiving, we are also grateful to have friends over for Thanksgiving. We are very blessed!
Michael decided he would try out Black Friday shopping he went to Toys R Us first and was scared away by the thousands of people outside. He went back later in the morning and was able to pick up a few things. Meanwhile I went to a garage sale across the street and bought a wet vac for $2 and nice big chest for $2, a dresser for $20, and this beautiful oak table for $200. We scored big. Our neighbor is getting married and moving so she was really trying to get rid of everything. The tables has two leaves and can seat eight comfortably. Michael had to convince me to buy the table, but we won't find a better deal on an oak table than that. I have now moved our
Formica table out to the garage and put the
canner on it. It should work out great! We were also happy to have our friends help us rake our leaves and carry this table over on Friday. We are so blessed!
