Get 'er done...we'll start with Thanksgiving!

I made a to-do list of things I need to get done before school starts back up MONDAY was to get the blog updated. So here goes my best effort. I get bored with it really fast though, especially when the computer starts acting up, but I'll try because these are important memories and I'd like to share them. There's a few though so bare with me, I don't know how to turn off the automatic email notifications I setup when I first started this thing. Also, yes I am aware that they are completely out of order. I'm just blogging in order of memory and which ones are going to be shortest, haha.

This year was the first time ever that Steven and I spent Thanksgiving with just the two of us. We haven't been able to spend it with family for the last 3 years, but 2 of those years we spent with friends. It was a little different. Pretty quiet, but we had a good time and got all of the yummy food to ourselves. We used our fine china, drank sparkling apple cider and cooked dinner together. We totally went the easy route though and ordered a Honey Baked turkey (it was good, but weird. I don't think we'll go the easy route on the bird again), Stove Top stuffing, Rhodes rolls, pumpkin cheesecake from Costco...we did go all natural for the potatoes because I love real mashed potatoes. Earlier in the day we watched bits and pieces of the Thanksgiving Day parades and went on a small hunt for the Thanksgiving paper. I know you can find the sales online, but it's more fun to go through all of the adds together after dinner. Below is a picture of our Thanksgiving spread. Not to shabby if I do say so myself.

The next day we went "Black Friday Shopping." We didn't camp out or anything, but we got some really good deals on dvd's and went to the outlets. We got pretty much all of our Christmas shopping done in one morning. It was fun, but I don't think we'll do it again. You can get most of the same deals online and can even find better deals after Black Friday we found, but it was fun just spending time together and going out to lunch.

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
