Well Thanksgiving break is coming to an end. I hope you all have had a wonderful time with family and safe travels. The highlight of our weekend was ARKANSAS BEAT LSU!!! But more on that later. Thursday night after Mitch got off we headed to Tulsa. We got there pretty late and just headed to bed. Friday morning we got up early and started cooking. All of my family was coming over around noon and we had a lot to cook! Cooking for Thanksgiving with my family was always one of my favorite things about the holidays. That afternoon, we ate way to much and hung out with family. It was a nice day! Its always tradition in my family to play games on Thanksgiving, so we played Phase 10 and Farkel. They are both a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing my family that I only get to see once a year.
Later that night we had planned on going to Starbucks with Katie and Tommy, and it ended up Taylor and Jamie were able to join us too. It was nice to see and catch up with everyone.
Saturday morning, my mom, grandma and I went shopping. There were such good deals on clothes!!! All of the black friday sales last until saturday at 1, and since we were going for any electronics or anything like that...they still had a ton of clothes on sale! I got a cute sweater for only $9!
On our way home we stopped at an Amish store. They have one in downtown Jenks and my mom and I have been getting a lot of food their lately and it is actually really good!! I am huge chip person, but I hate eating them a lot since they are so bad for you and at this store they make these Amish Veggie Chips and I have fallen in love with them!!
They are really good and aren't quite as bad for you as a regular bag of chips.
My mom also got this dip their that she made for Thanksgiving and Mitch loved it!! So I picked him up a package of it too.
It calls for cream cheese and sour cream and makes quite a bit!
We made it back shopping by two so that we could watch the Arkansas game... which was awesome!! We watched the first half at my house and then had to head back home to b'vill, so we listened to the second half on the way home. It was such an exciting second half. People probably thought we were crazy, because anytime Arkansas did anything good, we went crazy and Mitch would lay on the horn!! We were so excited!!! We were both so happy they won!! We always cheered for the Razorbacks when we lived in OK, but the atmosphere here is so different and it has been so fun to experience it as an Arkansas resident! It is definitely a fun time to be living in Arkansas!
We made it home just in time for Bedlam.. which was a different story :( Later that night Mitch's aunt, uncle and cousins come over. They were staying in Arkansas before they headed back to Memphis the next morning. It was nice to get to spend some time with them and of course see Lindi and Emma! Since I couldn't go skiing with them this year, they made me the cutest bracelet while they were in Colorado.
They are so sweet and I hope we get to see them for Christmas!
Mitch had to work today and whenever he is off for a few days then goes back on a Sunday, It always feels so much like a Monday. I am thrown off and think its Monday all day...it happens every time he goes back to work on a Sunday. So today I slept through church and everything. I am disappointed because I think they were starting the Christmas music today and I was so excited!
I am meeting Mitch at the gym when he gets off work and we are going running. It is hard to wait until this late to work out, but we like going together.
Mitch's grandparents are in town for the night and they are taking us to dinner after our run. Nothing like a big mexican dinner after a hard workout.. ha!
I hope y'all have a good week.... not too much longer until Christmas!!
