Thanksgiving and almost Christmas

This year we went to Defiance again for Thanksgiving. I not sure we really go for Thanksgiving but more for the fact that mom and I can go shopping on Black Friday....which this year started on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.

First mom and I headed to K-mart at 6:00 Thursday morning after throwing the turkey in the oven. We are VERY productive at K-mart including mps players and netbooks....mission accomplished for the most important Christmas gifts.

Then we went home had turkey, decorated, took a nap and at 8:30 that night we headed back out to Toys R Us......the line was unbeleiveable. There were literally thousands of people in line. They let people in until they reached max capacity and then it was one out--one in. We left because we still weren't even close to the entrance at that point.

Wal-mart proved to be productive again....but interesting. Need a DS from there and was able to get a ticket quickley but would have to sit there until 5:00. Well, mom and I sat in amoungst toilet paper for a couple of hours until I heard a lady say that Wal-mart.com had them for the same price. So I called Tim and got him out of bed so that he could buy it online and I could get out of line.  Mission accomplished.

We then headed to Kohl's, Gordman's, Target and Michael's. It was a good thing we packed hot cocoa because it was cold.  But we did very well....we started about 8:30 Thursday night and got home about 7:00 Friday morning...crazy fun!

The girl's have had their Christmas Recital and school programs. They did very well!

Kayla was also asked to dance at the Christmas Card and she did amazingly well, dancing to Walking In a Winter Wonderland.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and we are almost ready. Christmas Day we will headed to Annette's house for the Taylor Christmas and then the next three days we will be in Branson for the Keiser Christmas. It will be different but I think it will be a fun change. Can't wait to go see the lights at Silver Dollar City.
