Give Thanks!!

We had a really fun Thanksgiving weekend!!
It almost was a disaster, because we got the flu, but thankfully we were over it by the big day.
So we spent three days in Arizona where most of my family lives. We always have lots of fun with grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. There's always lots to do and my parents are wonderful about everyone hanging out at their house.

My sister, Cheryl, and I
She's recovering from cancer and has the cutest scarves, bandanas, and hats while waiting for her hair to grow back in.
My sisters are really into getting up early and shopping on Black Friday. They spend a lot of time going through the ads and coming up with a game plan. Last year they wore me down and talked me into going. It's a little crazy and I hate getting up that early, but I did save a lot of money. This year Stan went with me and we only went to one store and then went back to bed.
Callie and her grandma traded glasses!
There were 21 of us for Thanksgiving this year and we all raced these remote control cars. Callie won every race and beat everyones' time, until she raced in the championship. Unfortunately, her Uncle David beat her by a half a second.
Final Times:
David :22.36
Callie :23.06

We launched these cool rockets out in the desert.
Seth & his cousin, Addi.
She flirts & teases him. She's even called him a "handsome poop".
Cheryl, Ben, Seth, Sierra, and Callie out in the desert
We watched "Elf" outside on the "big screen". I forgotten how much I love that movie.
