Thanksgiving at Grandma's House

This year we started of our crazy Thanksgiving schedule at Grandma's house. Last year was a sad one because it was our first year without my PaPa but this year seemed a little easier because all of the great-grand kids were all there and we have a "fresh" one in the mix! My cousin TJ and his sweet wife Katie had their first baby boy 6 weeks ago. Bronx is precious!! I love all the pictures that I got of my grandma with all the kidddos. From Grandma's house we went out to Mansfield to MiMi's then over to Granny's. It was a busy day - so busy I never even pulled my camera back out! :( Oh well, it was a day full of fun, food and love for sure!

















The night ended as it always does - me, Becca and Mom pouring over the BLACK Friday ads and making up our game plan for the next day. This year all the stores decided to get even a little crazier and open at 3AM (some even opened Thanksgiving night at like 10PM - but we did not even attempt all that!). We knew we already had a full day of shopping and start at 10 that night would never allow us to keep it up the whole next day. It is completely crazy and out of control but that is my favorite part about it all. We have never been those dead serious ones that would like pull out a knife and stab someone over a $10 kitchen appliance - but we sure like watching those that would and making fun of them later! It is greatness and seriously one of my favorite days of the year. I LOVE my momma and my sisters. Spending that time together is priceless even if all the "deals" aren't! :)
