Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving. We had originally planned to head back to St. Louis, but because I've been so exhausted I figured I wouldn't be fun to be around. Just thinking about making a trip home kept stressing me out, so we just decided to stay in Madison.
The weekend went as I expected....lots of sleeping for me!

One of my favorite traditions as a kid was to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade - something I haven't been able to do in years, so I had a good time relaxing on Thanksgiving morning while Steve and I watched the parade together.
We went over to Chris and Tina's for a Thanksgiving feast in the afternoon which made for a happy husband! (sorry Tina, I was to lazy to take pictures, so I stole some of yours)

Steve loves any holiday that involves food - when he's happy, I'm happy!

We woke up early Friday morning to do some black friday shopping. I
hate black friday shopping. Not so much the shopping part, but the crowds and all the rude people. We had a few things that we really needed that were selling for really cheap though, so we figured it was worth the trip. Really we only got up 15 minutes earlier than we normally do for work, so it wasn't that bad. We got home at around 8:30 and I was exhausted so I took a 3 hour nap. Then it was back to work.
We just found out that Jessica is coming up on the 12th with a carload of stuff to move in, so now we're scrambling to get everything ready for her as we thought we had another 6 weeks to prepare the basement for her. The rest of the weekend pretty much consisted of working on the house....so exhausting and so not fun!
