Thanksgiving week

Monday we went to Kate's play at the high school. For a high school play it was pretty good. We also found out Jason has been accepted to the University of Colorado, Denver School of Medicine.
Tuesday was pretty much a normal day. Wednesday Jason played video games and I watched Monk at my moms. We then had home teachers over.
Finally, on Thanksgiving, we started out the day with cleaning. We did all of the dishes, put all of our laundry away, cleaned our bedroom, our living room, the bathroom, and our spare room. When that was done I worked on desserts for the big dinner. First was my favorite, chocolate mousse pie! I then worked on a chocolate trifle. We got to my moms and our dinner was delicious! Each of the kids made something to contribute to the wonderful thanksgiving dinner. Tanner bought pumpkin pie, I made dessert, Janna made salads, Kate made mashed potatoes, Penny set the table and was going to make a cheese ball but didn't get the recipe so we improvised and it was delicious! My mom and dad did everything else. The Turkey was really good, and very moist. After dinner we each helped clean up, and then went downstairs to watch Star Trek and then UP. Two WONDERFUL movies to end the day with.





Later that night Jason and I prepared for the morning. We worked out our game plan and were all set.

The alarm was set. We got up at 4:45 and quickly got ready. We got in our fast car and proceeded to Target. We got there just in time. (The doors were open) We grabbed the games we wanted and hurried over to electronics to see if they had any of the other things we wanted. We found some tv series that we wanted but we ran out of luck when it came to getting a hard drive. 1 terabyte was on sale for $60! We wanted to get a couple but unfortunately they were out. The lines were insane! We ended up going to the electronics check out. While I waited in line Jason went to Office Depot to get some memory for our computers to make them faster. The line took so long at Target, when I checked out, I only had to wait 10 minutes for him. We then went to the Target and Office Depot in American fork to get more memory, and to see if the Target had the hard drives and another tv series we forgot to get at the first Target. I had no luck at the Target, Jason did get more memory at the Office Depot so it wasn't a waste of time. We went back to the Target in Orem because Jason insisted he saw the tv series I was lacking, at that Target. I jumped out of the car and looked for the show. I found it within 3 minutes and got in line. The store had calmed down a lot, there were still a lot of people but not as many and the more crazy ones were gone.
Our next stop, Best Buy, to see if they had anything good. We found a couple of BluRays for only $8 and bought those. The line wasn't very long, which was very nice. Then we went to WalMart to see if they had any BluRays left. We were told they didn't, but what the person meant was that the good ones were gone. We did buy a gift for Jason's nephew (best gift ever for a 12 year old turning 13 EVER)!
We were finally finished, we stopped at my moms for breakfast and then Jason stayed and took a nap while I went with my mom and sisters to Spanish Fork to a Christmas craft fair thing. There were so many neat things there! We ended up getting a couple of great things.
After our shopping it was time for me to crash. Jason and I went home and watched some tv and then I napped.
