A Little of This. A Little of That.

I can't believe we've already spent 2 whole days in Iowa already. Tomorrow is the last full day and then we'll head home on Sunday morning.

We had a good time celebrating Daniel (and James) with Mimi, Pa and Aunt Nens. Daniel is now on the road to becoming a photographer with his new Kiddizoom camera. He also got a couple of news games that he loves and James got some fun things as well!

Daniel wanted a Cardinals birthday so Mimi decorated with a red table cloth, a Cards pennant, Cracker Jacks and then had cupcakes with Cardinals rings and a baseball on top. We even had some ballpark food for supper like burgers, hot dogs and fries. So fun!

Kendra and I went out for the start of Black Friday. We are the worst Black Friday shoppers ever. We had no plan. We kinda just go for fun. We got to skip the line at Kohl's because I convinced her to sign up for their charge card. All she had was 2 shirts and a pack of socks. The line was at least an hour long if not longer...so it only made sense! We "jammed" out to a Christmas song in the parking lot of Old Navy and we were rolling over the fact that we were SO off key. We got out and these girls are cracking up and loving that we were jamming in the car. LOL! If they could have only heard the noises that escaped us when we were trying to sing! Target was a mad house. And we went to Gordman's which was basically dead. We decided to head back to the house, and as our grand finale we belted out some Mariah Carey. I love us.

Today was our Thanksgiving. After my grandma had her stroke a few years ago, we've changed up our tradition and do Thanksgiving on Friday so that she's able to come from the assisted living center. I'm still full from lunch, but it sadly didn't stop me from stuffing my face at supper as well.

And tonight after we get the boys to bed we're watching Meet Me In St Louis, which means more snacks, I'm so excited. It's been at least 3 years since I've gotten to watch!
