While in Venice and Glenwood, I went Thanksgiving Day shopping at KMart and Black Friday shopping at Wal-Mart. I got nearly everything I went for. The only thing I didn't get was the Bourne series of movies for Branden, but they were gone within a minute of being opened. Oh well! I must say we are very blessed in our lives and I'm truly grateful for that.
Thanksgiving day was so much fun! My mom and I went shopping. After that, we cleaned up the Venice School House and made pies. We ate our feast at the school house. Following that, we had roller skating races and a mini baseball game inside. Everyone had a great time. We then headed over to Glenwood and spent the rest of the evening until 10 pm. Shanelle and I went to Wal-Mart about 10:30 pm to scope it out. All the Cowley girls and Anderson girls that were in town went out shopping. We did our normal divide and shop bit. I think everyone got pretty much what they went for. That morning after about 5 hrs of sleep we got up and went hunting Christmas trees. We found some pretty trees and I'm happy with the one we got.
November 28th, 2010 our big guy turned 7. I was struggling with that. He'd received some presents from family members over Thanksgiving that he was so excited about. At 6:30 am on the big Birthday morning, he was in our room wanting to open presents. He didn't get to open them until 9 though because we were exhausted. He was spoiled once again, as he has been most of his life. I guess that's the perks of being an only child. For Family Home Evening, we had cake and ice cream as a family. We also decorated partially for Christmas. Brax helped decorate his birthday cake.
I hope that all of you have a good time around the holidays and please remember why we're celebrating. The joy is in the giving!
