Black Friday

 Black Fridays sure aren't what they used to be!!  Back in the day, we all reminisce about getting a couple of newspapers, scouring the ads, and making our lists and plans for the day!  AND getting up at the crack of dawn to stand in line to get in the stores - oh what great memories we have of those times!

But these days, it's no newspapers, no looking at ads (only online) and NOT getting up very early at all!  Yes, we still shop a little - but basically most of my shopping was done with a click of the button on Amazon - and then it's delivered a week or so later.......just not the same!

Regardless, 3 of us headed out Friday morning - Jaime had to work this year so Jill, Jessi and I headed out - Aleah, Kenzie and Gwyn were holding the fort down and of course the guys were all fishing!

We sure didn't go to many stores - Kohl's, Target and Hobby Lobby - I think that was it!!  We found a chicken place to eat at and it was great!

The girls with their cake pops - which should have posted at the end, oh well!

Once we got home, we fixed nachos with all the trimmings for everyone - it was a hit and everybody ate their fill!  Jaime joined us when she got off work!

I brought out this game and we all took turns beating each other!

Robby and I even had a turn!

We had plenty of pumpkin and apple pie left this year so that was our dessert Friday night!

And I forgot to note that Gary had to work on Friday so he got up super early on Friday morning and headed back to Denver (they had driven 2 cars down).  SO unfortunately he missed ice fishing !

Saturday morning we cooked breakfast and the gang started packing up to go home!  I fixed special coffee for Aleah and Kenzie - and then Kenzie opened her birthday gifts from the Savages and us!

We can hardly believe she'll be 16 on Monday!!

And then they left - and the house was quiet again - but we all had our wonderful memories of Thanksgiving!
