Thanksgiving, Shopping, and Laughing until 7 am... What could be better!?

Thanksgiving 2009
This year we spent Thanksgiving with Brandon's family on his moms side. We went to Park City to his grandma's house for our feast! Brandon's three aunts married 3 brothers so with the cousins being related on both sides it makes for a fun time because everyone is close! Irey is the only little person there under the age of five, so she was definitely a source of entertainment!
After dinner I dragged Brandon to New Moon with me and like 5 of his girl cousins, he hated it and laughed 90% of the time... go figure! We finally made it home and put the baby to bed and then the Shopping began!!!
Jackie, Karin, Amy, Jenessa, Kelly, and myself started at South Town mall at mid-night. It was packed but we got through the crowed and lines quickly with the help of Jenessa and Kelly standing in line while we shopped! It was a beautiful system that made the crazy shopping time a lot more pleasant!
Jen and Kelly were a wonderful help to Amy and I, as well as a LOT of caffeine!!! This probably was a major contributing factor to the endless laughter.
After finishing at the mall at 3 am we made a stop at Del Taco (much more laughs and inside jokes there)and then headed off to Toys-R-Us which was a joke and wasn't even worth the trip considering the line to buy something went through out the ENTIRE store!!!
Our last stop was Wal Mart and they were even a bigger joke then Toys-R-Us. So you may be asking yourself, WHY do this to save a extra buck (even though I got a KILLER deal for a BlueRay player)!? Because I had a group of gal pals that made it so much fun! It's a mom and teens excuse to stay up all night! Not to mention after all the shopping to be had was over we treated ourselves to breakfast! Much more laughs there!
So this year I was thankful for the opportunity to have a chance to spend the holiday's with my cute little family and then top it off with a 7 hour shopping spree through the night with my sisters (-1 and + a friend)!
I hope to everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
