Thanksgiving 2012...

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year in my parent's new house.  They had only been in it for a couple of weeks but they had it organized enough to have us all over for a wonderful meal.  It was nice to have my dad's parents and sister in for Thanksgiving this year and we had SO MUCH FOOD.

I actually didn't take any pictures this year--guess I was too busy helping to get everything ready and then cleaning up afterwards.

We had a great time though and everything was delicious.

We normally eat with my family at noon and then eat again at dinner time with Craig's family but this year, Craig's mom decided not to do a big meal since his sister's family was out of town for Thanksgiving.  So we only had to eat (until we were miserable) once this year.

After eating at mom's and then hanging out for a while, we stopped by Craig's parents house just to hang out and visit.

We got home and I got Addi bathed and to bed and then Austin and I left to pick up Lyndi and Ann--let the Black Friday Shopping begin!  A lot of the stores (sadly) were opening at 8 PM on Thanksgving night but it was around 10 when we left.  We hit Walmart, Target, and then the mall and were home by 2:30 AM.  While none of us were "on the hunt" for anything too specific, we definitely found some bargains and were in agreement that it was a worthwhile adventure--and a lot of fun too!

After getting a few hours of sleep, we began dragging out the Christmas decorations.  It has become a tradition in our household to decorate the tree the day after Thanksgiving.

After getting the tree done, Craig hung some lights outside too!

This year, Addi got her own little pink tree with pink lights!  She loves it and decorated it all by herself! 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!
