Thanksgiving and Black Friday

For Thanksgiving this year, I decided it was time to break out of my comfort zone a little... So Ryker and I went to Ryan's parents' house for dinner and then took Ryan down to my aunt's house to play games and meet the fam.

The kids (and a few of the adults) played kickball at Ryan's parents' house, which Ryker loved!!

Later at Cheryl's... Katie, Emily, and me

For some reason I didn't take too many pictures of Thanksgiving. I think I was too excited about going SHOPPING...



SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY!!!!

All the girls in my family met up at my aunt Tracy's house around 10:00 on Thursday night and headed out to do some shopping... Our first stop was Toys R Us, which was an absolute JOKE!! We waited in line FOREVER in the cold and finally ended up leaving around 1:00 without even getting into the store. Luckily, Katie was a trooper and waited and waited and finally got in the store and got me all the things I wanted. Thanks, Katie!

Katie, me, Emily, Maria, Michelle in the parking lot of Toys R Us... It was COLD!

My mom, Tracy, and Cheryl were wimps and waited in the car. After Toys R Us, we headed to Fashion Place Mall. It was so weird to see so many people at the mall in the middle of the night. We just wandered for a bit and then got some food so we would have the strength to face the crowds at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart was crazy!

After Wal-Mart, I was getting a little ornery... I don't do well without sleep or food! So we headed to Sconecutter for breakfast.

As you can see, we were all EXHAUSTED, but it was worth it! I love shopping with the girls!!
