Wow, this week flew by. Thanksgiving was good and fattening. We headed to Dave’s parents house early to have a “Thanksgiving lunch” because Dave’s Dad had to be at work at 3am on Black Friday. Of course, everyone ate too much. We spent the rest of the afternoon looking at Black Friday ads and watching football-exactly how Thanksgiving should be spent.
Dave and I did the Black friday thing. I ended up getting a gift for Mackenzie’s birthday party next week. Dave got a few things at Target. I missed out on the deal I wanted to get my parents, so all in all it wasn’t that victorious. I still don’t really know what to get anyone for Christmas. I have a few ideas for Dave, but everyone else is a mystery.
Dave did end up buying new appliances this weekend for the kitchen. We got the new stove delivered on Friday and it’s so pretty. Dave took advantage of some of the after Thanksgiving sales this weekend and got a new refrigerator and dishwasher to accompany the stove. The kitchen is slowly being remodeled and once it’s done it will look fabulous! It will get there eventually. We are not in a big rush.
Friday night we were invited to Julie’s for an ornament party. I’ve never attended one of these, but apparently you bring an ornament to decorate and put on their Christmas tree. I found a pack of ornaments that came with paints for decorating, so I brought them over. I didn’t end up decorating any myself-her kids went to town on it.
This is what Mackenzie did…
I was surprised by how well she did it, considering she is only 4 (almost 5). She really concentrated and tried to follow the picture as close as possible.
Zachary wasn’t as interested…
Dave snuggled with the dogs… SIDE NOTE: Isn’t it hilarious how Mocha poses for the camera while Dave is off in another world??
and we talked and had a good time.
Saturday we went to the last USF home game, a sellout against U Miami. We got killed, but still had a fun time. I was waiting for the drunk old men behind us to get in a fight with the Miami fans, but it didn’t happen. I would expect this kind of behavior out of college kids, but these guys were at least upper 50′s. Some people just never grow up.
I don’t really have much planned for today, so I might just tidy up the house a bit and then head to the mall to try and get some gifts, but more than likely I won’t feel like leaving the house and will just stay in my sweats and watch last weeks episode of SYTYCD. Sounds like a plan to me.
