I don't know about you, but this year I was sure thankful for my mom this Thanksgiving.
Her birthday happen to fall on Thanksgiving day this year. At first I felt bad for her. I mean, if your Birthday falls on a Holiday than sometimes your special day might get lost in the busy right? Well after I had time to think about it.....Her entire family was coming together to celebrate her special day, her sister was driving 12 hours from Colorado, we were all off work, and going to fix a big feast for her Birthday.....maybe that is the best kind of Birthday to have?
Aunt Phyllis babysat Alex so that me and my mom could go get pedicures and manicures. That was so nice of Aunt Phyllis. me and mom enjoyed some peaceful and relaxing time together

Thanksgiving was over....well the eating and celebrating part....now it was time to SHOP!!!! Walmart first. We had to get Max a gift. saved me well over $115 on just one gift and found some great deals. Was it worth the maddess? I think so. Sure it was a little crazy and much patience was needed but all in all it is a great memory I have with Jennie and Phyllis and my mom. Would I do it again? maybe :)
