Well our Thankgiving was nice this year. My dad BBQ'd the turkey and my mom made the stuffing, yams and gravy. I made the mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie dessert. Greg made the bean salad. Everything was delicious, and we had alot of left overs as usual. Brandon played Guitar Hero for my parents after dinner, he's getting pretty good. I will say he does love music and has a talent for playing. My mom and I looked through all the ads to figure out where we wanted to go shopping. Jill stopped by and visited for a little while after my parents left. I went to bed around 10pm that night. I set my phone to go off at 3am. At that time I woke up and got ready to go shopping. Since Brandon wanted to go and spend the weekend at my parents house he went with me at 3:30am. We got to my parents house around 4am and my mom was getting ready. Our first stop was at Walmart, but when we got there there were about 300-400 people waiting in line that was wrapped around the building, it was insane. So instead we went to Macy's across the street and we only had to wait in line with 20 or so other people. My mom and I got some really good deals. I got a shirt, 2 pairs of capri's, shirt for Brandon and a blanket for a Xmas gift for only $32.00. After that we went to Gottschalks but didn't get anything and then we made our 2nd attempt to go to Walmart. I was surprised we got a parking space right away and got the things we needed and left. Alot of people were buying TV's so I guess that was the huge deal for the people tha waited in line. After that we went to Circuit City and I got a DVD and my mom bought a CD. By this time it was 9:30am and my mom and I were getting hungry so we went to Marie Calendar's for breakfast. Then we went to Mervyn's. That was our last shopping stop. Jill picked up Brandon and we were going to get L&L to get lunch but they were closed. So we ended up getting chinese food from Raley's and took that over to our grandpa's house. We had lunch and then we helped him with the yard work in the front of his house. The rest of the afternoon I relaxed and took a nap. That night Greg and I got out the Christmas stuff and I put up our tree, ligthts and other decorations. Greg is going to put the lights on the house today. I can't wait. I love Christmas. Ok, well until the next time.....everyone enjoy the rest of there weekend.
