Thanksgiving and Black Friday

Thanksgiving was really great this year. My cousins came into town and stayed at my parents house and it has been fun having them stay here. I love having thanksgiving at my moms house because this is only our second year doing it at my moms. Usually we have thanksgiving with the Woodbury side and then later spend time with my moms side, the Taylors, but this year we just had a small lovely dinner with the 13 of us on the Taylor side. :) It was a very yummy meal but my favorite part was spending time together preparing the food. It was a great thanksgiving and I am so blessed to have an incredible family.
     This year I really wanted to go shopping on black Friday so I told Tiff we should go and that is exactly what we did. I went to her house at about 9 and was so tired already and didn't know how we would be able to stay awake all night. Eventually we were being funny and had plenty of energy to last the night. Kohl's doors opened at midnight so we went to stand in line at 11. It was cold but we were happy and excited for our adventure. Tiffany's sister-in-law that we love decided to come with us and we were happy to have her accompany us. :) So, midnight finally came and we made it to the doors of Kohl's. Just as we were approaching the doors, we saw a bunch of people standing in the parking lot hoping to cut in line. The people near us in the line were upset. I didn't really care much because I just was there for fun. I kinda was curious about how crazy it would get and was kind of hoping I would see some crazy shoppers fight over something just to have a story to tell. :) But I did not wish anyone to get hurt. So this lady tried to cut in line in front of the lady behind us. She got a little upset and just politely asked her not to cut and this made the other lady really upset so she shoved her and was yelling at her. The lady who was trying to cut in line had the most angry face and I was slightly scared for the lady behind us haha. But then a worker told them to calm down and it was all over. That is the only crazy shoppers story I have this year. Long story short, Tiff and I found the stuff we wanted and we waited for 2 solid hours in line that wrapped around the entire store. After our adventure at Kohl's, we went to McD's and got a bite to eat at 3am and headed off to Target. We found stuff at Target and headed for home. My mom and cousins wanted to go shopping at the mall at 7 that morning so I went home and cleaned my house until it was time to do some more shopping. We finally made it home and I was able to take a nap. I slept for 6 hours! I didn't think I would sleep that long but it was a lovely slumber. Once I woke up, my cousins and I went to the Santa's Workshop, which is one of my favorite traditions each Thanksgiving weekend. This has been a perfect relaxing weekend which is exactly what I have been needing this semester. :) I am so blessed. :) 

Happy Black Friday Shopping! :)  Tiffany has great taste in hats haha. :)
