The good ol' "kids table"
Our meal consisted of Turkey, homemade dressing, corn, Jeanine's famous mashed potatoes, rolls, fresh veggies, chocolate pie, pumpkin pie, and wine - great for a diet plan!
Addyson loved the pumpkin pie and whipped cream!
Afterwards we all went outside to watch the kids, Kendall and Kiki play football in the backyard.
By 3:30 in the afternoon, it was all over. We tried to stay awake for the Cowboy game but I think I was snoozing before the end of the 1st quarter. But after a nice rest, the celebration picked back up at the Higgs house for a little Rock Band and left over food!
And the perfect ending to the exhausting day, was jumping in the hot tub on a cool night!
Despite the late night we had at Shari and David's house, Shari and I fared the crowd at Wal-Mart early Friday morning. It's funny and sad to watch people act like such idiots to save a few dollars. I could have waited until later to go, but since every 7 year old on the planet seems to be a Star Wars fan right now, I had to make sure to get there early enough to get the ultimate Star Wars gear. I did not however, go at 3:30 in the morning like my crazy sister in law did only to have a television snatched out of her hand by a grown man! I mean really! What kind of man takes a TV from a woman?? Anyway, she only came away with a scrath on her hand unlike the folks in other parts of the country who were caught in a stampede. Retail stores should have some type of accountability in this madness they create. Oh well, by the end of the day Friday I had most of my shopping completed. The rest will be done online. That is a good feeling!
