What a week! I feel like I haven't blogged forever because I have pictures and different things and I just can't seem to get around to uploading them and stuff... So I am just going to give an update... Screw the pictures for now. So a week ago, when Twilight came out, I went with a group of about 90 other girls! Some friends reserved the theatre and we got our own special viewing... NO GUYS NO KIDS! It was so fun... However, I was quite disappointed in the movie. I really tried to not have too many expectations so I wouldn't be disappointed... I just did not love Edward. UGH! And with a book you've read 4 times and love to have the main character not be what you pictured... well you know. But it was totally fun to go with all my friends and we had a blast.
Then over the weekend we put up all of our Christmas Decorations! I've never done it before Thanksgiving, but it was so darn cold I figured I might as well enjoy my Christmas stuff. I LOVE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!
Last week, on Tuesday, my brother in law and sister in law and their 4 boys came to stay for Thanksgiving. It was so fun. The kids had a blast. We had a houseful of boys and I actually thought it went very well. I am so glad I get along with Brooke so well. We have lots of fun together and I really like hanging out with her. We did Thanksgiving at my house with most of my family and some friends. I think we ended up with 14 adults and 13 kids! It went really good though. I don't know where all the kids were or what they were doing, but it was not as crazy as you'd think it would've been. We had so much food though! It was insane. We must have had at least 10 different pies or desserts! Actually 11, I just counted!
Then.. I did it! BLACK FRIDAY! I've never done the whole get up at 4 oclock in the morning thing, but this year we went. I tell you, there is some serious strategy to the whole BLACK FRIDAY! I had no idea! Brooke had all of the ads out and we were going through them figuring out what we needed from where and what time we had to be there. We were up at 3:45 and out the door by 4! She headed to Walmart and I went to Toys R Us. They had a play kitchen for half price that I wanted for Kennedy. I got there and there were already at least 100 people in line. I couldn't believe it. But I got in and got everthing I went in for... Then headed to Shopko to finish up. We were done by 7... It was loads of fun, we were calling each other and everyone was buying for everyone else, depending on where they were at. I think I may have a new tradition! That night Brooke, Tiffany, Amanda, Brooke D. and I all went to see Twilight, again. This time I knew what to expect and I LOVED IT! (I think I am going again with some other friends) Seriously I woke up the next morning wanting to go to it again. After the movie we hit some more stores... Target and Kohls and got home about 11:30! What a day! I couldn't believe I still had enough energy to keep shopping that night. After only 3 hours of off and on sleep the night before and then the full day. But it was such a blast shopping late at night with my girl friends hitting store after store. We were giddy! It was too funny!
That was pretty much last week in a nutshell, a long nutshell... Sorry! Hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving! I can't believe tomorrow is Dec. 1st! UGH! Where is the time going? At least I am done with my Christmas shopping now. Except Jacob! He is always the hardest for me to figure out what to get! Any ideas???
Oh yea... the song playing is Bella's Lullabye, I LOVE IT! Its so pretty. I am going to try to learn how to play it, but I am pretty rusty these days! Hope you like it!

I am glad that you did black friday! It is tradition at our home! We got some killer deals!!
Holy Cow, Belle's Lullaby is so gorgeous. I've listened to it five times in the last five minutes. I loved the movie too. At first I wasn't too thrilled with who they picked for Edward, but by the end I was sold. He's so cute.
What a fun week its been!!! I have had a great time with you too! I am so happy you did the whole "black friday' thing, welcome to the fun madness! I am excited for next year! We should ALL make sure we go together!
I am not sure to say about Twilight because I am so in love with that movie and I have not even read the books!!! UGH!!! Edward is .....yummy!
