So this past Thanksgiving holiday was a much needed break! Between community school and work I have been in need of a few days off. Wednesday the day before thanksgiving we still have community classes but as soon as that was over it was FREEDOM!
Thursday Lawrence and I got up and watched some of the Macy's day parade and got ready for lunch at his Moms. West Johnston High School (were LP brother and sister go) was in the parade so that was great to see a school from NC that's close to home, in the parade.
We had lunch at LPs mom's house and it was some good food. His brother Jonathan is back from some Marine training and brought two of his friends to Thanksgiving. We use to do that when I was in college. Marine friends and college friends came to the house to eat and it was good times.
Well after taking a family photo for a Christmas card me and LP headed to P-town to eat some more with my family.
(In between the trip we stoped to get Apples to Apples. and we better play it soon!)
Dinner at my house is always a blast! We laughed and talked the hole time! Rachel (my sister) brought her boyfriend Allan and My brother Jason brought his girlfreind Sarah. Plus me and LP. Then Doug and Mrs Leanne joined us and my mom and dad. Grandma stopped by......so it was a full house with lots of fun and laughs! Makes me miss home. We stayed until everyone left and the we headed back to Angier in hopes of getting up to go black friday shopping
Yeah so the 5am stuff never happened, we settled for getting up around 10 :) Which was much better.
We had an entire day of shopping! It was so much fun, we got presentes for alomst everyone on the list and got our first Chritmas tree! I have to say my favorite places were the Chrsitmas Tree Farm and its a toss between the Dollar tree and the Gardian Angel thrift store. hehe. We got lots of decorations and had such a blast together. Our floor is covered in walmart, and dollar tree bags! awesomeness!
We are having a Christmas party for friends thursday and I can't wait to show off all the Christams stuff.....just need to finish cleaning the house yikes!
