Thanksgiving!

All week leading up to Thanksgiving, someone was sick. We weren't sure if we would even be able to celebrate. I had Noah barfing on Monday night and Sam on Wednesday. Thankfully, both of them got over it quickly.

I honestly thought Sam's might have been due to all the congestion, as she literally got sick once and was fine. However, I felt it was time to put the extended family on alert. We canceled our Wednesday preparations. Thursday morning everything appeared fine, so I met my sister at 6 AM for our traditional Thanksgiving day shopping at Kmart. The doors opened at 7 and I was feeling a little off my game. I gathered a few things and began to feel sick. My sister helped me check out and I barely made it home in time. After getting sick, I felt so much better.

After full disclosure, everyone came over anyways. We had a lot to be thankful for and enjoyed the time together. As a result of the chaos, I realized we didn't take many pictures and left some people out all together. The girls (Faith, Lorelei and Autumn) were off playing and my mom (and sis) was working hard as usual.

After the Thanksgiving meal, my sister and I stategize about our Black Friday (red for us-lol) shopping. We headed out at 10:30PM and got back at 11:30 PM the next day. This is one of my favorite days of the year and I am incedibly thankful that I was well enough to do it. My sister and I have a blast. It is mostly about spending time together and has become a sport of sorts for us.
