Each year we alternate the location of our Thanksgiving celebration. This year, it was time to go and visit with my family. Not only are we fed delicious food by my parents, but I also get to spend Black Friday (or the night of) shopping with my sisters and mom. To steal the words from my mom, shopping can be "exhilarating!" We decided this year to begin at 10pm and somehow managed to shop until 7am the next morning. I can honestly say that I haven't pulled an all-nighter since college. But, even though I was completely exhausted the next morning, I wouldn't change a thing. I had a blast.
In addition to eating and shopping, the weekend was filled with family members moving. My brother and his family moved into their beautiful new house. There is some work left to do but it looks great. I can't wait to see it again around Christmas time once they are more settled in. My Aunt Gail and family also moved into a new house. Jeff and I were able to help them with their move. Even though they have a lot of work to do as well to get settled in, I am sure they will be very happy with their new home, too.
Hopefully in the next couple of years we will be moving, too?
Here are a couple of pictures of the girls from the weekend. These two were inseparable. They are best friends now and I can only assume this friendship will build over the years to come. :)
