Getting Ready for the Holidays.

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend.  It was nice to have John  home and not at work.

I hit the Black Friday sales of course, it is tradition for my family.  Although it is not quite the same without Carey . . . oh the memories!  Wendi & I both said that we would only  be out until 9 MAYBE 10, but there is some kind of sick adrenaline that we have.  We ended up staying out until 6:00!!!!  CRAZY LADIES!!!! 

We then went to see Bolt because I did not want Korbin to call me a liar!  John had the kids ready and we were back out the door with the kids to see the movie.  The movie was great, then I heard Kenzi crying, and then Korbin, and then, yes I will admit it ME!!!  But then again I cry at the parades when the high school band, football players and cheerleaders walk by . . . 

Saturday was by far the craziest day, we went with my Uncle Rick and his family to get a Christmas tree.  This was something that I have always wanted to do.  I had no idea though that we were heading up into the mountains, I don't know why that didn't click, but it didn't.  We found our tree, cut it down, and took it home.  Now the funny thing is, when you get home and cut the tree to the right height for your house, well . . . it just isn't as pretty or full as you thought.  Yes, we have the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.  Now the question is will we do this again next year??? OF COURSE!!!!  It was great hiking through the snow and sliding down the hill to find our not so perfect tree, but the perfect tree with lot's of memories.
