Thanksgiving

We made some turkey cookies one night for FHE before Thanksgiving. Can you tell which one is Xander's? He kept wanting to add more candy to it (that is the one thing that he definitely shares with me...a candy obsession!) For Thanksgiving, we made the trek down to Utah and had two Thanksgiving dinners-one at Ash's sister's house and one at my parent's house. We have learned to be picky and only eat our favorite things at each house so we don't get overstuffed! At 9pm on Thanksgiving, my mom, sister and I decided to start our shopping at CompUSA. We had to wait for 20 minutes to get in the door and then another hour and 45 min to make it through the checkout line! If it wasn't a killer deal then there is no way I would have stayed in that line! Then we woke up the next morning at 4:30 am and shopped for 12 hours with one break for lunch at the Spaghetti Factory. Phew! Then we went straight to the Utah Jazz game and then walked through temple square to see the lights and made it through right before they turned them off for the night. Needless to say, I slept until 3pm the next day, and 1pm the next two day to recover...but I got 90% of my Christmas shopping done that day and had lots of fun doing it!

Next time you are in Utah and have a spare few minutes, we'll have to meet up and catch up!

You are quite the bargain shopper! I don't think I could last that long! Also, whenever I get done w/ my xmas shopping early I end up buying more things anyway 'cause I keep seeing things I want to get people.
