Happy Thanksgiving! We went to my brother's house for dinner. We picked up Mom, went over for a delicious meal, and were home by 7. There were several people there: us, of course, my mom, brother (Davie), sister-in-law (Denise), niece (Casey), nephew (Ryan), Denise's daughter (Kristie), and Denise's ex-husband, Bob. It was great food, and nice company.
I got up EARLY today to go Black Friday shopping. I was up at 4, out by 4:20, and home by 11:30. I went all over town and have about 95% of my shopping done. It was worth it. The crowds weren't too bad, and I wasn't irritated by anyone because there really wasn't any "gotta have it" item this year. Of course, I did avoid Wal-Mart. That place is always crazy, and I can never guarantee I won't kill someone while I'm there.
Whenever I think of going to Wal-Mart, I think of the time I went and was walking behind a man that was eating fried chicken (from the deli, I assume). When he finished the chicken leg he was eating, he just tossed it into the men's department! Right on the floor! Just -swoosh- and it was on the floor. GROSS! I couldn't believe it! I'm betting he hadn't paid for the chicken either!
Anyway - I hope you all had a super Thanksgiving!

Christmas Carissa
Here's the picture that's going on our Christmas cards this year. Notice the straight hair!
Birds of Paradise
There are big trees in our screen enclosure that we figured out are birds of paradise trees. I've never seen them this big before, and they sure do grow quickly! We have to trim them back quite often. They're blooming now. Here's a picture. The blooms aren't as colorful as other ones I've seen, but they're still cool!
