Our First Thanksgiving

We managed to get through our first Thanksgiving. We knew that with pretty much all of both of our families being in town, we were going to have to work out where we celebrated. In the end, we had Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Nashs house, and then went to Nana and Papa Buells house for dessert.  Dinner was so great. Kirk had family that came out of town that we were able to spend time with, and Kirks brother Jon brought his new Fiance. Who happens to be one of my best friends! (Jon and Janae are getting married in May!) After dinner we zoomed over to my grandparents to enjoy some delicious pie. After dessert, we let the black friday shopping commence. There was a GPS I really wanted from Best Buy, but I didn't think I really wanted to brave it at midnight. Lucky for me, I was able to order it at the sales price! I got the one thing I really wanted from the comfort of the couch. I did venture out at 4 am with my new mom, and janae. We hit Pennys (they have different Disney snow globes every year that my M-I-L collects), American Eagle to get some presents for Kirk, Old Navy, Sears (where I got my beautiful new tree skirt), and Target. I returned home only to realize that I forgot my gate clicker. *Facepalm* I knew Kirk was still sleeping so I felt back calling him to have him open the gate for me. I sat for about 15 minutes thinking that someone for sure had to be coming or going on such a big shopping day! Much to my despair, there was not a moving car to be had. I finally gave in and called Kirk. As I figured, he was still sleeping and didn't answer his phone. I decided I was going to just hop the fence and went into the house and grabbed my clicker. Go figure, as soon as I got back in the car someone drove up. It was so nice to crawl back into bed and sleep for another few hours. That was my very first black friday not working in retail, and it was GLORIOUS. That was also my first, and mostly likely last black friday going shopping. (Somehow we also ended the holiday with no pictures. I suppose we should work on that)
