Rushton Thanksgiving

We started thanksgiving off with a bang, a double birthday party for my two nieces (no they are not twins) Taylor and Erin, we sure know how to party. With two turkey birds in the oven and craig and I encharge of mashed potatoes, a pie, and appetizers who has time to eat cake and wrap gifts (I tried to resist the temptation to wrap the gifts in christmas paper since I am so excited for christmas, it was hard very hard).

Turkey day for me was kinda a let down I will be honest it all started when I didn't have faith in craig being able to make the mashed potatoes, I had to learned that I have to have faith in him because he doesn't always have faith in himself. When we got to Heidi's we had so much food I cant believe what was she thinking have appetizers before turkey and stuffing, I got full off of the stuffed mushrooms. My appetizer well yea lets just say it was an experiment of cheese stuffed into puff pastery with raspberry jam trust me it tasted better than it sounds.

Every year I always hear so many fun stories about my family and black friday shopping and so this year I was finally old enough (and didn't have to babysit) to go, but it kinda sucked when all we did on thanksgiving night was look at all the ads in the newspaper, thats right no games, no movies just ads.

our christmas card to everyone this year was a compilation of craig and I's favorite christmas songs, since we dont have kids to show off in a cute picture we made a fun cd. we gave every one their cd on thanksgiving and all craig could think about was if anyone would even listen to the cd.

Black friday was crazy and of course where do me and Heather thats right target we got in line at 4:30 in the morning and waited for the doors to open at 6, it was nice we had a good sisterly bonding moment. When the doors opened at 6 I couldn't believe it we were one of the first to get in there and I was walking (not running like everyone else) to the electronics when I see this big lady running past me with a shopping cart already full of stuff, I dont get it how could she all of the stuff already it was insane, crazy lady and crazy people to get up and shop aggresively that early in the morning.
