Thanksgiving
A couple of weeks before Thanksgiving we invited 2 families and a grandmother over for Thanksgiving dinner.
One family had a relative pass away and couldn't come.
The other family wasn't sure.
And the grandmother got sick the day before and couldn't come.
We tried another family but they couldn't come.
Oh well.
Then it turned out that Family #2 could come after all!!!
Well Thanksgiving day they came over and stayed most of the day and we had a WONDERFUL time talking to them and getting to know them better.
Football
Then something wonderful happened!!!
They invited us over to their house to see a football game the next day!!!
Now for most people this would not be that big of a deal but for 8 crazy football fans who have never even seen one game this is a BIG deal!!!
After all our favorite team was going to play and they were going to win we were sure!
We were SOOO exited!!!
So we went to our friends house and watched the game and our team pulled through for us and won!!!
Christmas Time
Then the day after that we drove around looking for a tree farm, didn't find one and settled on going to Lowes.
Now for most people this would not be that big of a deal but for a family who has always gotten a tree from a farm this was a new experience!!!
So we looked around, picked one came home and set it up and broke more ornaments than I think we have ever broken(we finally decided that this was not the year for breakable ornaments and just decorated with the more durable ones!!!
Then we had a few gift cards we were going to use on Christmas gifts so we headed out to shop!!!
Now for most people this would not be that big of a deal but for a family who has always gotten all of their clothes and such from the thrift store(and love shopping there) going out to a "real" store is a big event!
Well we went and looked and laughed and had a wonderful time seeing the sights.
And that is the story of Thanksgiving, Football and Christmas Time with my wonderful, fun and hilarious family!!!
