Thanksgiving Day

We are all so grateful for the family and friends that we have! This year has been good to us so far even with the few struggles here and there. Our family was so lucky that we were able to go and spend Thanksgiving with Emily, Danny and the boys. The girls had so much fun and other than who could tell more that someone was whining it was a great short trip. The turkey was wonderful! My tummy was very thankful to Emily's great cooking.

I got to see New Moon with Emily and it was just as good as the first time that I saw it on opening day. The theater was awesome and I felt almost under-dressed for that fancy movie theater. Who knew that you could order a bar drink and then go in and watch a movie??? NO.....we didn't order drinks for a girls night but you could if you wanted to because in this part of the theater only people over 21 are allowed in. The seats were HUGE! and leather too. I have been way too spoiled to think of seeing a movie any other way. Thanks Emily!!!

On the way home we stopped by the Unclaimed Baggage store in Boaz. I felt so sad driving to try and find the place. The whole outlet mall looked so run down from what I remember of it but the Unclaimed Baggage store was still hoppin'!! That store was the extent of our after Thanksgiving shopping trip. We scored some awesome deals. I found a super nice stroller for Katy. I know, I know. Isn't she getting big for a stroller?!?! Sure she is getting big, but when I take long walks all over campus for things that I need to do, she can't walk all that way and I will not carry her. She can ride in style in her stroller that I scored for a whole $20.99!! It's a really nice Maclaren stroller. Seen here ------> They retail at Babies R Us for $130!!! So I was in stroller heaven!

Ruby scored a great deal with finding a booster seat. She had to have one since she is 3 and Brett sits in one. I was okay with that since she found one for only $10! That is what we were going to get her for Christmas and well let's just say now we have to think of something else to get her.

The BEST deal of the day was finding a Singing Time DVD for the girls. The girls love this show and it teaches them how to sign. Katy was so excited to tell the lady checking us out that she had an Alex and Leah movie. They sell for around $22 from them and what did we get it for??? Only $2.08!! Yep only TWO whole dollars. I am so excited to learn new signs too.

Well that was the extent of our Black Friday shopping, but man we got some good deals! My computer time is almost up, so I will get back to posting again soon. I am so grateful that each of you take the time to read my blog. Where would we all be without blog readers. All of you are amazing!!

I'm the stroller queen (and been known to keep my kids in them until 3:) That's an amazing deal! Now I'm sad we never made it up to UB when we were in AL.
