Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was fabulous this year. We spent the weekend with our friends the Simonsons. It's been so fun having them close, Heather and I have been friends since we were twelve and she's basically a sister. It's also nice because they have a nice sized house with four kids that my kids adore. When we go there, we basically don't see them the whole time. It's nice that they have such a good time too.

I didn't take near enough pictures, but that's because they would have mostly been of four adults high on food, company and sleep deprivation. And speaking of sleep dep, I tried my hand at Black Friday with Heather that night. We left around 8pm and got back at about 4am. Holy cow, people are CRAZY!! Seriously, you could feel the tension in the air as we waited in line to get into Toys R Us. By the end of the night, even I was ready to cut a man if they tried to cut in line. It was an adventure, and we had a great time, but I can't say that you'll see me out there again any time soon.


Thank you weather for being nice enough to send our kids outside!

Deviled eggs and a veggie tray. My pre-Thanksgiving must-haves.
Chocolate French toast for Thanksgiving breakfast. It was important that we gave our stomach a workout before the actual event.
