Thanksgiving

We had such a good time camping for Thanksgiving. We spent all week at Jekyll Island. Craig came with me & we had such a blast. Turkey was so good. My Dad smoked it. Playing with the kids was the best. Tag at the playground is a tradition I had missed terribly. You don't realize how much you miss the little things until you aren't there for them. Being gone for 18 months was hard, even though it was worth it. So I intended to enjoy every minute of my family time at Thanksgiving, and I did. It was a good time. A little cold, but that gave us a chance to sit around the fire. We played more DS than I have my entire life. 8 people playing Mario Kart is one heck of an adventure.
Black Friday: oh I missed getting up before the sun and going with Alice & Melissa to fight the crowds at Wal-Mart. Ok, really watching Melissa fight the crowds is how it really goes down. I had missed that too. I got some good deals. Got quite a bit of my Christmas shopping done as well. It was great. I love my family. How grateful I am for the knowledge of being sealed for ever.
