This has taken me a little while to post. We had such a great time out at Jacob & Julia’s house for thanksgiving but once we got home life got a little busy. First doing the normal “home from vacation” duties like laundry and grocery shopping. Then the next day Megan got sick and was home for 2 days which meant I was home for 2 days. I have also been very busy planning for Josh’s surprise party (that happened last night, but that’s another post.) So now I feel like I can breath, but just for a second since I am getting ready for our next vacation this week. So a little late, but this is our Thanksgiving weekend.
We went over to a friend of Jacob & Julia, Britta & Jason’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Britta decorated everything so beautiful and all the food was amazing. We all ate plenty of food and had a ton of leftovers that we ate for the next 3 days. Later that night we finally had some room for some pie.
On Friday the weather was cold and had a mix of rain and snow, but before the yucky weather hit, Julia and I went out shopping for the black Friday sales. It really is crazy all the people awake at 5am shopping for deals. We came out with plenty of deals. The rest of the day we spent playing inside & napping.
Saturday we thought we would get the kids out of the house and took them to the mall to this place where they have a bunch of bounce houses. We let the kids run around for 2 hours. It cost $6 a kid and they gave us coupons for chick-fil-a for free ice cream and french fries.
4 ice cream cones
3 french fries
3 drinks
Later that night after Jacob got home from work, I don't know who's idea it was to get a babysitter for the kids and just have us adults go out (with the little babies), but it was a GREAT idea! We got a sitter and we took off and enjoyed each other's company for a couple of hours. It was nice to get away and spend time with just Jacob and Julia (and Macy). I felt bad for the sitter once we got home to find out that Megan convinced her to sing her lullabys, not just 1 but 4 different lullabies. What a great babysitter.
We had a great weekend! Thanks Jacob & Julia for letting us come and spend Thanksgiving with you guys, it was A LOT of fun and we can't wait till the next time we get to see you guys!

Looks like you had a great time!
Free is always great!
And good job on your black friday buys!
Glad you had such a wonderful time. Does that look like my favorite place called Chedder's??? I wish we had those around here. You have to love anything free and if it is food that is even better. I don't know how you can get up so early to do that shopping but if you can save the big bucks I guess it is worth it. Looks like fun for all of you!
