We had a great Thanksgiving! We spent Thanksgiving with Chad's family. It was fun to spend the day with everyone. We had tons of food (as usual), and great company.
The girls spent hours scouring the ads, and planning our shopping route for the next day. We even took a trip to Shop-Ko to start our shopping. I couldn't believe how many people were out shopping. It was nice for us to get out of the house for a little while.
We also made gingerbread houses that evening to get ready for Christmas. The kids had so much fun. Our house had to many little hands pushing candy on very hard, so it needed a little repair (more than we could give it). However, we still brought it home to display for everyone.
The day after Thanksgiving, Kerri, Shanna, and I left the house at 3:20 to head out for the big shopping day. We had so much fun. I decided that I was on a shopping high. I loved being the first person to get things - it was great. Thank you Trevor for watching the kids (although Owen had only been up about a minute when I got home). I can't wait for the next time that we all get to go shopping again!
Of course I had to make a slide show to show you all of our pictures. This is a long one, so grab some popcorn! We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

I seriously cannot believe that you got up that early and went shopping! You're nuts!!!!! My mother in law was in IF, too. You probably saw her and didn't even know it. I still think you are all crazy. I'd rather pay 10 more buck and not lose sleep or fight crowds.
Your Thanksgiving looks totally fun. That's nice that you have so much family around you!
I promise, it was so much fun! I wasn't even tired - you don't have time to be. I didn't really care about saving money, I just wanted to try it. I will seriously do it again!
I keep checking your blog and all I see is the Thanksgiving post. I know fun stuff as happened since than.... :)
