The shine of it has caught my eye...

Thanksgiving was quite the adventure. Dan and I headed down to Utah the Sunday before and stayed with my parents for a few days. Then we loaded the whole family up and went down to St. George to spend Thanksgiving with my aunt and uncle and grandparents. It was such a nice vacation. We ate delicious food nonstop and went shopping a ton. I went Black Friday shopping for the first time ever- it was hilarious. I couldn't believe how many people were at walmart at 5 in the morning. It was insanity, we couldn't hardly push our cart around. But it was worth it- we got some excellent loot. Oh and also... I cut my bangs while I was down there! Actually, my sister did the actual cutting of the hair. I have been wanting to do it for a while but I was too nervous. But my sister and I just decided to do it. It's a nice change without cutting or dying my hair. Anyway, all and all a very fun Thanksgiving.

Erin won at Settlers for the first time, so we had to document it.
Erin's little girl, Hailey. So precious.
On the way down to St. George, my little sister thought it would be a good idea to hit me in the face. Luckily, I got a bloody nose. (please ignore the fact that I look bald and terrible)
Cute cheese face!
Thanksgiving Day!!

BLACK FRIDAY


My sis-in-law Tamara wanted to get a new laptop. There was a killer deal at Best Buy so we went there at 9 Thanksgiving night. The line was INSANELY long, and they only had 5 laptops. We knew we wouldn't be able to get one, and we didn't want to have to wait all night for nothing. So we went over to walmart, found that they too had some awesome laptop deals and got in line. Luckily we got to wait inside. Dan and my sister Jessie came over to hang out with us. We entertained ourselves with catch phrase most of the night. Dan and I weren't planning to buy anything initially but turns out we are easy pushovers when it comes to deals. We got a new laptop and some fun toys like ROCKBAND. We were there ALL night long from 9pm to 7am. It was absolute mayhem at 5 when the sale began. Every single aisle was completely full of people. We had all our stuff in 15 minutes and then waited in line for an hour and a half. Even though we got zero sleep, it was totally worth it!

Fun Thanksgiving! You know I have never done the Black Friday thing and one year I'm going to do it and I'll probably get trampled and die. I'm a little scared. I usually just stay home and decorate for Christmas that day or work at carinos to make some sweet mula. Props to you for shopping that day. Sounds like you got some good stuff. So I picked up a shift last Saturday and saw that we were closing together and then this guy named Dan was closing with me and I'm like uh you're not Allyx! haha anyway glad you guys had a great Thanksgiving. Now time for Christmas! Hope school and everything is a lot less stressful. Your Christmas break is almost here!
