Our Thanksgiving Holiday was very relaxing and stress-free (at least for me anyway). We went to my parents for dinner and enjoyed visiting with family and eating really yummy food! Then we stopped by to visit Austin's parents. We decided to have them spend the night at our house so Austin and his dad could get up super early and hit up the Home Depot for Black Friday. After we put the girls to bed, we stayed up looking through all the Black Friday ads that had come in the paper. I really needed a new computer and Austin found an amazing deal at Best Buy. So he and his dad decided they better head out to get in line. They left at 12:30 since the store hands out tickets for items two hours prior to opening. Austin was worried that he wouldn't make it to Home Depot in time so his mom and I decided to load up the girls, drive by Best Buy to check on the guys, then headed to Home Depot at 3 am...yeah crazy, I know. I've NEVER been a fan of the Black Friday crowd or cared to stand in line in the freezing cold for a sale, but since Austin was doing that exact thing for me, I figured I could do it for him. When we got to home depot, there wasn't ANYONE around--including employees. The parking lot was empty. So we made sure we had enough gas to just idle for a few hours. The line started to form so I joined the 'too perky for that early in the morning shoppers' and waited for the store to open. Austin got the ticket for the computer we wanted and joined us at home depot since he wouldn't need to pick it up until later that morning. I guess the most stressful part was that I was in charge of getting what Austin needed and was worried I wouldn't be bold enough to put up a fight for what I needed...luckily it didn't come down to that. I'm soooo suprised at how nice and calm everyone was, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. And my wonderful children slept through the WHOLE thing! I'm just shocked we were even there in the first place!!! Later in the day after we rested up, Elena got to see santa at Tai Pan!
