The Thanksgiving Saga

Ahh, finally the Holiday is over. We actually had a good Thanksgiving day, we spent it with good friends and gathered for our annual orphan dinner, as we all lack family here. Jared's sister came down from the city and stayed a few days, as always it was fun to have her here.
Our saga started two days before Turkey Day. I was at the store getting food for Thanksgiving Dinner and some shopping Nazi chart-checked Erin. She completely plowed Erin over and didn't even say she was sorry. We got home that night and Erin said her leg was a bit sore when we put her to bed. When she woke up the next morning she couldn't put weight on her left leg. Being the day before Thanksgiving we couldn't get into the pediatricians until 4pm. In the meantime I took her to see "Enchanted" at the theater and carried her around all day. We spend Thanksgiving eve in the E.R. waiting for x-rays.

But Thanksgiving morning she made a miraculous recovery. She severely bruised the muscle, but no breaks. We spend most of Thanksgiving day at Anderson's. We had a fantastic meal and even better desserts.

Friday Jared got up at 5 a.m to shop the black Friday deals. He got a really nice laptop and a bunch of things to deck it out with. He got everything he needed by 6 a.m and then Brittany and I ventured out. Best Buy and LNT were a nightmare and I don't do crowds, they make me want to curl up in a ball and hyperventilate. So we went to Half Price Books for free canvas book bags and donuts. They were giving out $5.00 gift cards so we each got a free book.

Then we stopped at Hobby Lobby and picked up supplies to build our own wreaths. We were really happy with how they turned out, both being wreath building novices. We put up our tree, which finally looks decent this year, thanks to a 50% off sale on ornaments and called it a weekend.And it actually felt like Thanksgiving, we had temperature in the mid 50's this week, yuppie!
