The Thanksgiving Pride Cycle...

We had a great thanksgiving this year with friends, family and GREAT FOOD. Charlotte got to come out and visit from Idaho (which is always fantastic) and we spent a day gorging ourselves, lazing about, playing games with family and feeling overly grateful for the love we have. 
That night the chaos began- Ben didn’t go to bed but started his black Friday madness by hitting Walmart at 12:00. He rolled into bed around 3:00 and then out again at 5:30- he is crazy! Brea and Charlotte left around 6:00 and didn’t get back till 12:00 (not so early bird) but still got some great deals. I wonder- why do we do this to ourselves? Is it really worth it? Would we buy this stuff if it wasn’t on MEGA SALE? But in the end it is kind of fun. It makes us feel adventurous. It makes us feel like we are doing something on the wild side. And who doesn’t want to feel a little gluttonous the day after the day of thanks, love and gratitude? What an ironic weekend!!

Ben and I made the turkey again this year- it was good!
