MY WONDERFUL FAMILY

MY WONDERFUL FAMILY
We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched-they must be felt with the heart.

Thanksgiving and BLACK FRIDAY madness!

We have had a great couple of days. Thanksgiving was good, and we were surrounded by lots of family. All of Justin's siblings and their spouses were here along with 5 grand kids under the age of 5. Talk about CRAZY!! We spent the day playing games, the boys played video games, and just sitting around talking and playing with the kids. Here are some of the pictures from that day.







Friday morning all the women got up early to be at Shopko by 5:00. It is amazing to me that so many people actually get up that early to be at the store. You have to be absolutely crazy to want to do this! Meaning we are crazy. My mother-in-law got hit in the face with a bag by a man walking by, we forgot where we parked too many times to count, we were left without carts because everyone else decided to not share with us, when my sister-in-laws went to target it wasn't open yet, and the line they were in wrapped around to the back of Target, and basically we spent more time in lines then doing anything else. That is just some of the craziness that we experience throughout the day. We spent 8 1/2 hours in the madness, shopping for everyone. It was absolutely crazy, but we all had a good time (we at least laughed a lot). We even got some great deals on things too, and I guess that is all that matters. The men (Justin and his Dad) stayed home and took care of the kiddos!! They did a great job considering they had all 5 kids. After we got home from shopping we just wanted to rest. Our feet hurt, our backs ached, and we just wanted to sit down. Later we played apples to apples. Anyone that knows the Grahams knows that even a quite game can turn into a loud game! It is funny to see the competitiveness come out in everyone the minute they decide to play a game. We played for awhile and then we were all about to fall asleep so we called it a night.
