Thanksgiving was a blast! The Schedule was as follows:
10:00- brunch at Autumn and Jim's (YUM)
11:30- To the Farm (Tyson's parents place) for a little pre Thanksgiving dinner visit
4:00- Dinner at the Asper's ( Melissa's parents place)
6:00- disgust with how much we ate, and even more disgust knowing we will eat more!
7:00 - Eating pie/ dealing with a very grumpy toddler!
8:00 - Putting the grumpy toddler in bed!
AHHHH- finally hitting the sack for the early rise and shine (After Thanksgiving sales!)
We had a lot of fun, and can you believe it, I lost weight after all that eating. For the last year I have been trying to lose a few pounds, I guess I was doing it all wrong! I have to eat more to lose more, I can handle that!
My sister's and mom woke up at 4:00 to hit the sales, weirdo's. I, however, did not plan to wake up until 7:00 for the sales I wanted! I was, however, rudely awaken by the phone at 5:30. My sister begging me to stand in line a WalMart for her. I did it though, very surprised when I got a front row parking spot and found everything she needed and walked right up to a cash register! Not too shabby! Then I made it to Target, again for my sister ( I guess she had too many store to get to and I, apparently, did not have enough!) Then it was to my stores, which will remain a secret in the remote chance Tyson will read this blog! We hit a few more stores then met to have breakfast. All in all a great morning!
The sad thing is, we didn't stop shopping then, we still went out that evening and the next day. Pretty pathetic I know!
It was great to see all my family, all six of us siblings made it home this year! My dad will be having a heart valve transplant shortly so we all were here for support and to help get the house ready for winter as he will be "out of service" for six weeks. He won't be able to even open a car door. We are optimistic that everything will be fine, but a few prayers couldn't hurt!(hint hint)

Can you believe it?
Anyways, happy holiday to all of you! We are debating how to set up a Christmas tree this year knowing Aaron will torture the thing to shreds! Any and all ideas welcome! Thanks

All your nice breakable ornaments go on the top half of the tree. Anything else on the bottom half is fair game. Then, take bets on how many times Aaron will pull the tree on top of himself before Christmas arrives. Tell your dad good luck! (And your mom, too, I guess, since I like her). :) See you in 20 days!!
Heather is even more adventurous than me. I packed away all nice breakable ornaments and only brought out wooden ones that were virtually unbreakable. It hasn't been until recently that I have finally ;) been able to bring them out again and be relatively sure that they are safe (unless we are blessed enough someday to have more--then the cycle begins anew). It is always a bit stressful, though because accidents will happen when little people are around. It is inevitable. Good luck to your dad.
