This year we spent Thanksgiving with Cary's family in Ft. Worth. There is never a dull moment when you have 8 adults and 7 children in a house together for a few days. The children all play so well together so it is fun to watch their interaction with each other. For some reason my newest nephew was not in the pictures I took because I suppose he was napping each time I took the camera out (which was not very often) so I will have to make up for that on my Christmas post. 
We got to have lunch on Thanksgiving with the Beard side of the family so there were a lot of aunts, uncles and cousins to visit with. Once we returned home that evening we started mapping out our route for Black Friday starting at midnight with Toys R Us. I do not know what we were thinking but I can honestly say I do not think I will ever tackle that store again on Black Friday. We (Chiara, Travis, me, Landrea, and Tiffany) waited over an hour after the store opened to just get in the door. That first store was enough for Cary's sister Tiffany so after taking her home the rest of us tackled Old Navy, Sears, Wal-Mart and Target. I was happy to have gotten all the deals that I really wanted thanks to there being enough of us to spread around the stores and attack the deals. My brother-in-law scored my favorite deal which was my new leather office chair for $35 at Wal-Mart. Thanks again Travis!! After a night full of shopping I was exhausted and looking forward to getting a few hours of sleep. Things did not quite work out that way because Cary cooked his famous french toast and evidently his Mom has an extremely sensitive smoke alarm so I will let you fill in the rest.
That Friday was Kaylee's 8th Birthday so we got to celebrate with everyone before leaving to watch Abilene-Wylie play in the semi-finals. Since Cary cooked one of her favorites for breakfast, Grandma decided to cook spaghetti for lunch per Kaylee's request. (Here are all the cousins minus Devon in the picture.) Kaylee was so excited to celebrate her special day. She got some really sweet gifts that she had been wanting. Thank you all for making her day special!!
