Thanksmas 2010

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with my family. It was kind of a last minute decision on where we would spend it since my parents just moved to Bossier City, LA. Their old house in SA and their new house in LA close in January, so we just decided to have it one last time in our barely furnished home in SA! It was BYOB.....Bring your own Bed! We went and saw the new Harry Potter movie which was really really good. I'm not even really into Harry Potter, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanksgiving meal was delicious! My Mom makes the best sweet potatoes. Hands down. I really just eat sweet potatoes and rolls......and pie. I'm a carb lover, what can I say. I was in charge of the apple pie this year, so I found the most amazing recipe from The Pioneer Woman's blog. It was sooooooooo good! If you like apple pie, you should try it for real.

Waiting in line for Harry Potter

So, we decided to camp out at Target for Black Friday. By we I mean me, Chels, Heath, Doug, James, Matt, and Larisa. We got there at about midnight and there were probably around 30 people in front of us. At about 2AM we were all wondering why we even came in the first place since none of us were really wanting anything in particular! haha Let's just say it was my first and last time to camp out for Black Friday. It was freeeeeezing and it rained. BUT, I did get an air mattress for $12, an area rug for $20, and The Blind Side for $4. It made for great people watching at least! We were all back in bed by 5AM. I think I'm still catching up on my sleep.....

This was taken around 3AM after Larisa and I made a coffee run. It didn't help....

We celebrated Christmas as well which was fun! Otherwise, we just enjoyed family time, good food, and games. And of course, time with our cute nephew! =)

I mean, really......he is adorable!

Had to sneak in a sister pic!

In other news, Doug's start date for Pilot Training was pushed back again......AGAIN people! Surprise, surprise. The new date is January 26. I'll believe it when I see it. I'm beginning to think we will live in Del Rio forever......

Happy Christmas decorating!
