For Thanksgiving this year we decided to stay home. In the morning Mike went out with a couple of guys from church to play a little soccer. I hung out in the side lines chit chatting with the girls.
Later on, Joel came over and we had a simple dinner. Mike made his crockpot ham, and Joel and I made the sides. Although it was supposed to be simple, we ended up with quite the delicious feast.
I hadn't even planned on going shopping on Thanksgiving day. I think it's mean to make people work while they should be with their families. But, we ended up going! Ha! I'm such a traitor! My friend had invited us to go with them to Target, but we just ended up going to the Target by us. We had never shopped for "Black Friday" (more like Thursday) so we had no idea what to expect. We didn't even want anything, just wanted to go for the thrill I guess. We waited in line for about an hour and a half and looked to see what we wanted to buy. When they opened the doors we had a game plan, the boys would go straight to electronics and I would get my baby video monitor. We all knew what we were getting and in a matter of 30 minutes we had everything we wanted.
We ended up with a PS4, extra controllers, video baby monitor, blender, and other little things like throws and pillows and picture frames. It was pretty fun. I couldn't believe how many people were there. I thought it'd be crazier but it was not too bad. Next year I think i'll just stick to my cyber Monday deals so I don't have to feel bad about making people work. They should just close all stores the entire day. My friend said, "We like to spend the morning and afternoon being thankful and the evening prying a toaster out of an old woman's hands." Ha, ha! So funny, sad, and true.
Well now that we've had our one Black Friday experience, I think next year we will work more on the staying home and being thankful part :)
Happy Thanksgiving!
