As always this past Holiday weekend was amazing. I loved every minute of spending time with family!! We have such a fun tradition of going bowling the morning of Thanksgiving. Both Nicks family and my family go together and enjoy some noncompetitive (we are all terrible) bowling. After we headed over to Tiffany's house for the big meal. The food was amazing and I loved having Alice asleep during the meal so I could eat and enjoy. Scarlett just loves going over to the Milne house and playing with all her cousins, especially Centri. Those two can play for hours!! Black Friday started early this year (I did not like that) so we started around 530. I get so giddy and anxious before everything starts. It is like war shopping... it gets crazy. I normally do not like shopping for hours on end but mass pandemonium makes is very enjoyable!! We started with Walmart and were there for the offical "tearing" into the palates. We got everything we wanted and due to line cutting (yes, I get down and dirty!) we were in and out in 20 minutes. Oh man you have to be an experienced Black Friday shopper to truly love Walmart... it was crazy! I left very tired and super sweaty. In order to get everything on my list I was running everywhere and carrying all my stuff, carts are for the inexperienced! Then we went to my parents for left over rolls and pie and to chat. Kim was for down with her family so she met up with us to do Kohls. Anything compared to Walmart is very tame so Kohls was a cake walk. We actually were talking, laughing, and rather enjoying ourselves. I always feel a twinge of sadness as Black Friday comes to a close. I love spending time with all my sisters and making crazy, fun memories. We get giddy and act like 15 year olds, I just love it.
As always I am so thankful for all the wonderful blessings I have. I deserve none of them! My most priceless blessings are those of Nick and the girls. I am beyond lucky to be a wife to such a kind man and a mother to my amazingly gifted girls. All three make me a better version of myself!
All the Strobelt grandkids...Nice smile Scarlett!
