Noah & Daddy breaking the wishbone!
Our little family dinner at home.
Mom & her little super shopping pal We had a very good Thanksgiving this year. We stayed home & had a little family dinner with the kids, who said "Uhhhh gross" to every item on the table other than the rolls! Oh, well- Len & I pigged out & we still are enjoying the leftovers!
Then, the excitement really began....looking through the ads in the newspaper with Len & making our shopping list for Christmas gifts & coordinating with friends about who will shop where! :) We exchanged our lists- I took on WalMart & Shopko, while a friend took on Toys R' Us & Smith's Marketplace & Len stayed home & slept!!!! It was very serious business.
Bella woke up right as I was getting ready to leave, so rather than risk being late or having Len call me in the middle of shopping to say "get home!"- she came with me. We left the house at 4:45 am & were in WalMart by 5:00. They were (somehow) out of carts when I walked in &, so I went to electronics without a cart & Bella's carseat on my arm. I quickly realized this was a mistake because I had to drag this humongous box with another box balancing on top while carrying the carseat on the other arm. I'm SURE I looked like this biggest idiot ever born! I was sweating by the time I got to the register, but I made it out of there by 5:20! Phewww! Shopko went much smoother, but for some unknkown reason, a guy who decided to cross the parking lot right in front of me while I was leaving stopped & flipped me off as I passed! I guess he thought I was too close to him or something! I wasn't even going fast- I think he just wanted to be a jerk, so I waved at him & turned up the Christmas tunes on the radio! I sang my way home trying not to let him get to me (even though it was very tempting to flip him off & then back up over him). Only one jerk was pretty good compared to last year though! Not to mention I didn't get trampled to death like the poor woman in NY. What the heck? Shopping is supposed to be fun right? Anywho- hope you all had a fun Thanksgiving & Black Friday too!

You are one daring woman! I didn't attempt Black Friday. Since we moved, I've shopped online and had it delivered to my parents so we don't have to drag it all with us. Your little family is so cute. Can't wait to meet Bella. See you soon!
i love your autumn family pic. it is super cute!! brave, crazy, ambitious, inspiring....call it what you may, i am in aahh that you first of all- woke up that early, then got you and bella ready, AND then took on the shoppers, NOT TO MENTION... having the power/strength to resist returning the birdi gesture to thaT guy! you are hilarious! by the way, did you get everything you sought after?? hope so!!
She's gorgeous. Really and truly gorgeous. And I'm glad you made it out alive from walmart.
First of all I love the new family picture. So cute.
You are a brave woman to go shopping with a carseat on your arm. I did the Black Friday thing once and I'll never do it again! Being surrounded by thousands of greedy people is not my favorite way to usher in the Christmas season. Maybe the guy that flipped you off was the same person who stole my cart and everything in it while I turned my back. Did I mention I hate Black Friday?
Way to go Laura!!! I am very impressed. I actually love black friday and we usually go out--but I was very lazy this year and missed it all together. Didn't even spend one little dollar that day. I will be sorry later when i am paying top dollar for stuff. The bird story is hilarious! People can be so weird--hello it's CHRISTMAS!! Good for you for waving and turning up the christmas tunes! Your awesome and I love you!!
