Thanksgiving 2009

We had the chance to go to Utah for Thanksgiving. Like I said before in a previous post we haven't all been together in a couple years and it was nice to get to see everyone.

Here were are posing with our new jackets we got from Santa.

Santa came Thanksgiving Eve and surprised us all. We all got matching jackets.

Now I am a stylish mom in my leather jacket.

Santa with all the Grandkids.

In Brett's family they are Major Black Friday shoppers. Well Toys R Us was opening their doors at midnight. Brett's sisters decided they would pull an all nighter. I tried to sleep for an hour around 10pm. (big mistake, that made me even more tired)

So we got to Toys R Us at 11:45 and the line looked like this. If you look closely you can see how far it went back. It was insane! They were only letting like 25 in at a time so we left after we watched the mad rush for the door at midnight.

We then went to Walmart cause we heard if you wanted a particular item you needed to wait in line. So we did! Yep we waited until 5am at walmart! We made friends with the people in line around us. We even used Walkie Talkies to communicate where we were and what we wanted.

Our charts grew and grew with stuff throughout the night. We were secretly grabbing all the items that were suppose to stay wrapped until 5. We made out like Bandits and saved a ton!

We went to a couple different stores before we headed off to bed for a couple hours around 8am

Tori Loves horses and would not let us go by without getting on.

Vic (Brett's dad) is super talented in making stain glass art. He was kind enough to make each of his kids their own. He had them all displayed like a gallery with gold bows on them.

They are a great addition to each of our homes.
