Our Late Turkeyday (& What Matters Most- Harry Potter!)

This last week was Thanksgiving.  Mom, Ro, & Alexa got here late Wednesday night, early Thursday morning.  I worked Wednesday & Thursday.  I actually volunteered to work Thanksgiving, because we were probably going to do our own thanksgiving on the weekend, & holiday pay sounds really good about now.  Before going to work on Thursday, we got ihop, since it was the only thing open. Work went pretty well, but the best part about it, is my friend, Britni, drove all the way to town just to bring me some thanksgiving dinner!  So I still had some turkey, and mashed potatoes, and green beans, and even some pie!

After work, I went straight to Black Friday shopping with Ashley & Alexa, who were already stationed at movie size Toy Story toys.  I was sent to get a Thomas the Train set.  Thats where we were to wait until "midnight." But at about 3 mins til, people started to go crazy & start grabbing stuff.  I grabbed the train set, & ran, and was able to see Ashley get mauled by a bunch of guys! It was a pretty interesting night.

Friday, I found out my friend has never gone to the doctors with out her mom, and didn't really know what to do.  I brought her to, and sat with her at insta-care.  KIDNEY STONES!...the pain she was having, was from kidney stones.  Not so good, but later that evening, Me, Alexa, Ashley, Brian, & mom went and saw HARRY POTTER!  I loved it! It was prolly the best movie they've done (I'm not a huge fan of the earlier movies, but this one is a different story).  I know, you can laugh all you want, but I was really excited to see Harry Potter.














Saturday was "Thanksgiving."  Ashley did most of the cooking, while we helped watch the munchkins. I don't think any one was really complaining, seeing how they are so freakin cute!  So I pretty much was playing peek-a-boo with Brylee and going "rawr" with all the dinosaurs for a good chunck of the morning.  I grubbed on food.  We then watched the BYU/Utah game.  Lex & I met mom & grandma at santa's workshop where mom spoiled me by buying me nice jeans :)  I said my goodbyes to mom, ro, & lex, then brought Britni some of my thanksgiving dinner, since she had to work that night.  I was then off to Trevor's bonfire with tanya & friends.  My phone died while I was out there, so I got home realizing it was about 4 in the morning.  Man! Those pallets took a long time to burn- but I had fun, so I won't complain!



Quite a weekend, don't you think!?!

Glad you had some good family time. Hope no one walked away from shopping bruised or bloody. I can hardly stand it that I've not seen Harry Potter yet. It will be a while still....darn.
