Counting Down

I am counting down to my favorite Holiday... Thanksgiving!

Most people say Christmas is their favorite Holiday. I love Christmas too, but not like I love Thanksgiving. I enjoy waking up Thanksgiving morning getting the kids dressed and packed for the entire day. I know that when we leave our house that morning we won't be home until bedtime.
We head over to my in laws, my kids run around and play and us adults chat and get ready for the food to finish cooking! We all eat and it is fabulous. I of course have 3 different plates because I can't let any of my food touch or take the chance of juice from one food running into another... it is quite the challenge to get 3 plates and a drink to one seat, lol!!! Anyway, we always have all of my favorites and my father in law always makes me a pumpkin pie and sometimes my pineapple upside down cake, it is truly heavenly!

After our tummies are so full that we are all going to explode, we bust out my favorite part, the ads! I love going through all of the ads with everyone. We all circle what we want, from where. I always have a tablet and pen to write down who wants want, how much it is and what store it will be at. Some years I pack up the kiddos and we head out to my step dad's family's house to see my Mom and visit with a family who welcomes us with open arms! It is always a fun time over there and of course more food!!! After a couple of hours over there we head back to my in-laws where I then proceed to make my favorite list of all...My BLACK FRIDAY list!

Black Friday is most definitely my favorite day of the year! I enjoy everything about that day! I love the fact that J loves shopping with me that day. It is a day for just us! I love that you hear nothing but Christmas music on the radio, sitting in traffic, but for a fun reason! I love walking into a store knowing I need to be somewhere and looking around to see everyone has the same objective that we do. People galore, Christmas music playing in all stores, employees coming over the intercom announcing what is where and what is on sale. Everyone rushing from store to store trying to beat the early bird sales, that are always fabulous! You name it I love it, this day is fabulous!!!!

Let the countdown begin...

12 more days!!!!! Woo Hoo!
