Had a great Thanksgiving yesterday at my “Aunt” Karen’s house down at Lake Martin. It was nice to see everyone that we haven’t really had the chance to be around for the 5 years we were in Vegas. This was the first year we were able to have a big “family” Thanksgiving with my Mom’s side since we’ve been in Alabama. It was really nice. All the food was so good, and it was nice to not have to cook so much. I made my Spinach Artichoke Dip, Corn Casserole, and Pineapple Casserole. My favorite dish was there though and that’s Sweet Potato Casserole, I swear I never get tired of that one!
We’ve decided to go non-traditional for Christmas dinner though and we are going to have homemade Lasagna, salad, breadsticks, and desserts. We’ve gone non-traditional a lot the past few years so I guess its becoming a tradition in and of itself!
And yes I went shopping this morning. Got up at 4:15am and drove down to Fultondale. I got there right at 5am, so I wasn’t waiting in line. Got some great deals on a few clothes and toys and I got Travis a game he was wanting from Best Buy, along with some new headphones. I don’t really go to shop the normal sales, because those will be around from now until Christmas, I went for the “doorbuster” sales and I got some great items. I got Kung Fu Panda and Wanted for $3.99 each and when you collect movies like us that’s worth it!
Here’s a few photos from yesterday…
