We traveled to Clemmons, NC to Alex's parents for Thanksgiving. Both of Alex's brothers also came into town. After we were all done eating, my sister-in-law, my niece, and I all went to CVS for some sweet deals. I am pretty sure that is my first time going to a store on Thanksgiving. They didn't know how to get to CVS, so naturally I had to come along and I just so happened to have my coupon book with me. Win win! These are our traditional family photos on Alex's parents front porch.
I am really really unsure what Alex is doing in this picture, but I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it, so logically it is here for all to see.
Black Friday ( I am not sure why this day is called Black, but I am gonna run with it) we went to Target at around 10. All I needed was a free duvet cover with a purchase of a comforter. I got it and we were on our merry little way. Then we went to the mall where I discovered a newly opened H & M. I screamed like a school girl, that's what Alex said anyway. Saturday we went to the park and then later that night we went back to the same park for a festival of lights. We were there for 2 hours! We spent 1 1/2 of those hours sitting in traffic. By the end of the drive around the park, I was yelling at Alex to pass cars that were just lolly gagging through it. The first 2 times he did pass the cars I told him to, but then refused the next 5. We all never wanted to see another Christmas light ever again.
This is one of the $10 shirts I got at H & M. The denim one is from the men's section. Holla!
Blake's hair looks funny, I couldn't resist.
Sweet deal on the duvet cover!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a tradition to call a day of the week "black" when they are associated with disaster- especially financial disaster ie black Thursday- stock market crash in 1929 and in 1869, “Black Friday” came to refer to the day of the so-called Fisk-Gould scandal- a financial panic caused by gold speculation. So it's ironic for the first day of the Christmas-shopping season no? Doesn't sound like it was disastrous for you! Good thing your weren't hit with pepper spray from crazies on the prowl for electronics (a story from a California Wal-Mart)! There are some insane people out there! Glad you got to spend the holiday with family! Shane is back in bed, and I probably should stop reading your blog and go back too! :)
