Our Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving was with my family this year. The decision was made that we would do something different this year and go out to eat somewhere for Thanksgiving. We chose Chuck-A-Rama arriving there around noon. Adam and I got there at 11:45 and the line was very long. We got in the back of the line waiting for the rest of the gang to show up. The line moved so slowly that it would have probably taken us an hour or more just to get inside. We talked about whether or not to stay and decided that Adam and I would go over to Golden Corral and check on their line. Golden Corral's line was much smaller, we were seated within about 30 minutes. The food was pretty good..not as good as a home cooked meal but it did the job. After eating we headed home and had to take a nap lol. We headed back to my family's home for turkey sandwiches and other amazing food. We visited and watched football. We wanted to go Black Friday shopping so we left at about 7 and got to Walmart just in time for the 8-o-clock sales to start. Adam got two pairs of pants and we got a couple of games and some xmas gifts and we were out of there by 9:30ish. We needed the luggage that Kohl's had on sale so to kill time we went home and watched the Michael Jackson special on TV once 11-o-clock hit we left and headed to Kohl's and by the time we got there the line was already around the building. We took turns standing in line and warming back up in the car. Midnight hit and the line moved quickly, we spotted the luggage right by the door and grabbed it as soon as we could. I decided we should check out first so that way we wouldn't have to carry the luggage around since it was so awkward and heavy. We got each of them for a screamin' deal thanks to not only the sales but my awesome Grandma who gave us some coupons to make the price even better. Adam put them in the car and I searched for other fun things. I found some clothes I wanted and Adam found a new pillow he wanted, well by the time we wanted to get back in the check out line it was wound around the store so we spent about a another hour and half in line waiting. We left Kohl's at about 1:30AM. 
Friday we were going to go to Manti to visit Adam's Grandpa and other relatives we got up early in the morning and wanted drop off the dogs at the daycare closer to our home but when we called to see if there was room for them they did not answer the phone so we decided to leave them at home instead and to go later in the day so they wouldn't have to be home alone for as long. We left about 11AM picked up Adam's sister Sara and Brother-in-law Clark and were on our way. We arrived at about 2PM and soon after some of the men wanted to go skeet shooting. Me and cousin Emily decided to join them. Adam was looking forward to target shooting with his new gun he bought. I do not have any real experience shooting guns so I just watched but when Grandpa Stewart said the the 22 rifle was pretty easy to shoot I thought why not give it a try. WOW am I horrible at shooting or what I didn't hit one target lol. Adam did great though so that made me happy. We headed back to the house for a little ping pong, boggle and some yummy dinner. We left around 8PM and got home around 10:30PM to some extremely excited puppies!
Saturday we slept in a little and cleaned the house up since Adam's parents were coming for a visit. They arrived and brought Subway for lunch. We had such a fun time chatting, eating snacks and playing games. Having one on one time with them is so special! After their departure we decided to have a ping pong match and since I didn't play much growing up I am easily beat. It's great exercise for us both. On the way upstairs I glanced at the dart board hanging on the wall and since we were in such a gaming mood I decided to give it a try and we spent the next little while in competition with each other on who could get the highest score..Adam won! 
Sunday we slept in and had a lazy morning around 3PM we headed up to Adam's Uncle Bruce and Aunt Ann's home were we met up with Adam's parents and some of his siblings and other close relatives. We enjoyed a yummy meal and each others company. We left around 7 and headed home to our adorable puppies. We enjoyed the rest of night watching our favorite shows and just getting ready for a new week. We had a great Thanksgiving surround by people we care about and love!
