I had a lot to do Monday: shopping, finish cleaning, more baking, laundry. 'Bout 8 am I got a text from Daddy "Did I leave my wallet at home?" "Yes" "Could you bring it to me?" "Really. A one way trip is 45 minutes. OK. Here I come." Good thing I had already cancelled school for the day.
OK. On to later in the afternoon, Daddy's parents got here around 4. His sister and 3 of the 4 children (The oldest is at PCC; only 17 days til he is home!) got there after dinner Monday night (dinner was at yummy Squealers). Tuesday was ........ hmmmm. I don't remember what we did Tuesday during the day. I know dinner was at O'Charley's and that evening was Rock Band (only cuz i asked Daddy what we did) (Check at the very end of the post for video. Video is not so easy to move in this here new blogger format.) Daddy's brother and family got here around midnight.
Wednesday was our Thanksgiving. But just as importantly, we went to Chik-Fil-A for lunch. My one niece loves it and so does Daddy's sister. So my niece treated her two favorite aunts. Then some of us went to see Kalei girl. Same said niece as above brought balloons for her and Grandma to release.(see next post) After seeing K girl, we went home and got our big, yummy meal ready. I never did have dessert that night. I was too full.
Thursday was our Christmas. After breakfast, we opened presents. It was the year of gift card--for most of us. I got some Rachel Ray utensils and baking dishes (side note: they are heavy!) Daddy got a new pair of crocs. Hoss got a new donut shaped bone, which he promptly demolished. We gave everyone else, well I can't tell you because my side of the family hasn't opened their presents yet. (check back for a post on the story of those presents and pictures) We also started a new tradition (ooooo, aaaah, yeah!) Later that afternoon, one family left.

Friday was black Friday. We left the house at (drum roll) 10:30. And still got most of what was on our list. And for lunch we had (drum roll again) CFA! That evening was Wii Fit. (Again, video is at the bottom) I won't describe exactly what happened; I'll just say there was a lot of laughing. A lot.
