Black Friday.

Black Friday!!!
One of my most favorite days of the year!
I don't know what is is about black friday.....
Getting up early with my two favorite shopping buddies,
Stopping for breakfast,
No kids,
Just one purpose....DEALS, DEALS, DEALS!!!!

If you are going to shop, you should do it VIP style.
Mom bought a VIP groupon and it was the best $10 she has ever spent.
We got VIP parking, access to a hospitality room and a goody bag with tons of coupons and treats!
I love shopping with these ladies.  
We have been doing it so long it is second nature!
We did pretty well, we barely had room to sit!
What an awesome day!  
I'm sad it is over.

Thanksgiving.

We traveled to Indy again this year for Thanksgiving.
We had a great visit with everyone and did a ton of fun stuff!
We always have such a great time with everyone!

Look at these three cuties!  
Can you believe how big they are?
Look at this cutie!  
I just can't stand it, she's so cute!
I love the look on Molly's face!
Every time Lainey gets a gift, she has to fight for it! 
(This bear was Lainey's Thanksgiving gift)
She just gave up.
She did finally end up with it.
Hello, Mr. Bear.
It is crazy how much I love these girls.
After our Thanksgiving lunch, Mom threw a Gingerbread party for the kids!
They got to roll out cookie dough, cut out cookies, decorate them, 
listen to a gingerbread story and do a craft.
They had a great time!
Mom did a great job!
She had fun finding all the Gingerbread goodies!
Gigi and her craft.
Molly's new thing is to say "Oh Yeah!" when she's excited.
This is my sister scoping out the Black Friday Ads!
More on this later!
After lunch my Mom, Sister and I made blessing bags.
These are bags that you can keep in your car to pass out to the homeless.
Ours included: chapstick, gloves, thermal socks, tissues, soap, washcloth, oatmeal creme pies, 2 kinds of peanut butter crackers, a tooth brush and cough drops.
Hopefully, these will brighten someones day.

Lately, I've been very thankful.  
I don't know why I have been thinking so much about it, but here are a few things I am very thankful for:
My whole family's health first and foremost.
That Andy and I have jobs that allow us to provide a nice home, reliable cars, good daycare, good food, and allow us to give Christmas presents.
(Now-before you say anything, I know that Christmas presents are not a need, but there isn't anything better than the way a kid lights up on Christmas morning or when they see Santa.)
I can't imagine worrying about these things on a daily basis.  
We often get wrapped up in having more, but if you can not worry about these things, your doing pretty good.  
I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Peek-A-Boo.


This weekend Lainey learned to play peek-a-boo!
It was the funniest thing ever!  
She would lift the blanket up and down and just laugh and laugh!
So funny!
Of course, Molly had to get join in the fun too!





Peek-A-Boo!!!!

Thanksgiving Luncheon

Friday was Molly and Delainey's Thanksgiving Luncheon.
My Mom wanted to come this weekend to visit, so we decided she should come early and surprise Molly by coming to the luncheon.
Molly had no idea she was coming, so she was super excited!
When we got there, Molly's class was outside, so we stopped in Lainey's room first....

 She was excited to see us too!
 She was very excited to show off for Mimi!
 She loves to crawl into this thing, but she sometimes face plants out of it.  
She recently had a bruised cheek from it.
 She loves it though!
 Molly was really excited we were there.
 They had a great turnout!

 The food is not the greatest, but they had tons of desserts!
Molly's class made most of the deserts.
This is an oreo with candy on it to make it look like a turkey!
Super cute!
We are looking forward to a short week and THANKSGIVING!!!
