Thanksgiving Feast (and the days around it)

I know, I know, this post is a little late. I’m sure you’ve all been on the edge of your seats just dying to know what we did over the Thanksgiving holiday. Well, the wait is over!

Mike had the entire week off of school, which was fantastic. We are so used to only getting Wed-Fri off from BYU that this was a much welcomed week off. We spend Monday and Tuesday here in Lansing because I had to tutor, but as soon as I was done on Tuesday, we loaded up the car and headed down to Chicago.

Right when we got there, we enjoyed some cupcakes I had made.

But since we got there pretty late at night, we didn’t do much more.

The next day, we took family pictures and we lounged around the house. We also went out grocery shopping to prepare ourselves for the feast!

And on Thursday, we feasted.

Tennyson got all dressed up for the occasion.

And he feasted with us. We gave him some mashed potatoes and he went to town.

At midnight that night, we went to Walmart for Black Friday sales. We got out with a bunch of movies at great deals, went home, went to bed, and got up the next morning to do it all again! We spent almost all of Friday shopping. It was a lot of fun! In fact, Black Friday shopping is where we got our tree and my family got a tree as well. So that night we spent some time decorating the tree!

As usual, we also spent a lot of time just lounging around. We watched A Christmas Carol and played Killer Bunnies and just enjoyed being with family.
