Black Friday!

So Thanksgiving was wonderful! We went down with my family to my Aunt Carrie and Uncle Clint's house in Highland, played loads of games, went shooting, and ate more food then ever!
Then this morning we went shopping!!! We didn't stand in any bad lines, hit up Wal Mart, Smith's Market place, the Sport's man, Inkly's, Al's, and Best Buy, and got EVERYTHING that we wanted at ALL of them! Talk about having Lady Lucky on our side. All those people sleeping over outside of best buy for their killer deals on video cameras and photo cameras, we walked right in, grabbed the last one and walked right out, same with all the other places we went to. Went to the SPortsman to get $80 goggles for $18 walked in, asked someone where the googles where, she said "there out, but you can have this one"!! I have gone every year since I was 11 or 12 to Black Friday shopping and never was it as easy as today :o) I hope everyone had as awesome of luck as we did.

Christmas with the girls!

This month's get together and we had a "Christmas Night/Morning Party"
We all got dressed up, and went out to eat at Olive Garden!

Then we all decorated Christmas Stockings. Then when we were going to bed, we went out one by one and 'played Santa' by putting a stocking stuffer in each others stockings.

We all went to sleep in Erin's room, woke up at six and opened the presents we all brought each other and looked through our stockings! What a wonderful Christmas Morning!

Then needless to say we all crashed and slept for another 4 hours... and then took pictures of how we fall asleep 'on Christmas Morning'

What good times!

Christmas Gifts of Love!

My family has a tradition that we all LOVE! We all give each other 'Gifts of Love' which are gifts that don't cost anything. Sometimes they are silly, and sometimes they are things that take a lot of thought and time and are truly bring the spirit of Christmas.

Cam and I gave Bry and Zach things from Six Star that were broken/or for some other reason going to the trash... saved them up and gave them away :o) Don't they look So excited!!

Tabby got a tuxedo outfit that we bought for her to wear at Cam and I's wedding but lost... and then re found and gave her. Doesn't she look cute!

Cam and I scrapbooked all of my mom's buckets of 'I'll get to them someday' scrapbook stuff! The best part was seeing her face! So much fun!!
Then we gave my dad NEW kitchen stools... and then the boys had a good time burning the old ones!

The boys LOVED what dad gave them... he HANDMADE each of them fly fishing poles!! He had been working on them since APRIL! Talk about gifts of LOVE!!!

Christmas!!

Cam and I slept over at my parent's house from Christmas Eve to Christmas so that we could 'have the whole Christmas experience'. My family doesn't wake up early anymore for Christmas, but Cam didn't let that fly. I tried to keep him in bed for as long as I could, and finally gave in at 6:30 and let him wake everyone up. :o)
Yahoo for stockings. It was fun, this year Cam and I got to put together each others, so it was fun to go shopping for little nick nacks.

Dad got some AWESOME new waiters for fly fishing!

Even Tabby got a gift! Look at that stinkin' cute hoodie we got her!

Cam and I got mom a gift... lets just say Dad LOVED it, and mom was quite embarrassed by it!

Yahoo for Christmas Morning!!!!

The Family got a Wii and Rock band to go with it! It was so much fun we played it all day! Even dad attempted it play it :o) Fun Fun day!

and then after it all I was pooped out!
