Thanksgiving Weekend

Man oh man... I had such an amazing time this weekend in California. Josh and I flew down on Wednesday night and we were the last of the family to arrive. As the previous post mentioned, all of my family was there. Every brother, and their entire family. It was a blast!! At times it was a little crazy with 9 nieces and nephews running/crawling around, but I absolutely love those kids. Of course I'm a dork and didn't take any pictures while I was there (I'm so mad at myself), but hopefully someone else took some pictures.

The first full day we were there was Thanksgiving and we had the best dinner EVER! I always love my mom's cooking, because she's just so amazing. She's also the sweetest mom ever because I don't like turkey (ya, I know, I'm weird) so she always makes a ham for me too :) And I love ham!!! Then of course, there are all of the delicious side dishes that make the Thanksgiving meal, just so yummy! That day was spent hanging out with the family and watching football.

Then the next morning was BLACK FRIDAY!! I don't usually like to shop, but I really love a bargain, so Josh and I saw in the ads the day before a few TVs that were on sale and thought we would check them out. We went to Walmart around 7:30AM and it was crazy busy as expected. All of the TVs we wanted were technically "reserved" because they had given out tickets to customers and they would use the tickets to purchase the TVs, but they said that by 10AM if the TVs weren't claimed then they were up for grabs. But we had family pictures at 10, so we just figured we'd check afterwards and if there were any great, then if not, no big deal. So we came back after, and they were all gone, but Josh spotted the one we wanted on display so we asked the manager if they would sell it to us and they said YES! So we got the TV we wanted, not only on sale, but another 10% off because it was the display model!! We were stoked!! It's a Samsung, 50" plasma TV. I LOVE IT!! And it's HUGE!!! It definitely looks tiny compared to our 32".



On Saturday my mom got us girls tickets to see Celine Dion in concert in Anaheim!!!! We were soooo excited! It was so fun to go out with just the girls. It was my mom, me and my 4 sister in laws. Let me just tell you, I love Celine!! She has the most amazing voice and she's hot! She has like the perfect body and I'm envious, but she is just so talented. I liked her a lot before, but man, I want to listen to her songs all the time now! hahaha. So thank you mom for the tickets, we all had such a PERFECT TIME!!!!



So all, in all, this weekend was perfect. Josh and I couldn't ask for a better family. We are so lucky to have all of them in our lives and we were sad to have to leave. But now I get to decorate for Christmas! WOOHOO!!
