Thanksgiving 2009

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have so much to be thankful for... family and friends to name a few.
It was a little different this year. Courtney and Spencer chose not to spend Thanksgiving with the family and had their own dinner with a friend's family and I missed spending time with them...
Christopher had to work... I missed spending time with him.
For a few years we've been fortunate to share Thanksgiving with Cindy's parents. This year they had family in from out of state and decided to spend their holiday at their home with them.. I missed them... Rik, Cindy, the girls, Susie, Frank and the girls were all here.. we had a great time.. I think we all ate too much!
Susie thought she was going to get out of the annual Black Friday search... ha! As if! She caved.. LOL.. Michelle, Cindy and Susie checked the ads to see where the best deals were and plotted our route... although we didn't get all we planned on purchasing we did have a good time.. once the shock of being out at 3:00 AM wore off... Breakfast was wonderful... gave us strength to carry on... the lines were long but we had a great time ... Maybe next year Cindy can go... due to work she couldn't this year!
Now to get the decorations up from the basement and distrubuted where they need to be.. less is more this year, less is more.. I'll keep saying that until the last light is strung, the last ornament is placed and the last stocking is hung.............
To be continues...
