I usually avoid Black Friday, it's not that I don't like shopping...shopping is my thang, but I don't like fighting crowds. It truly brings out the worst in me but this year I went with my sisters just because I wanted to spend time with them.
Yesterday I drove to my baby sisters house for Thanksgiving dinner expecting to find my mom and step-dad, my sister Emily and her kiddo's and my baby sister Laura her husband and kiddos and found an awesome surprise. My sister Sarah, her husband and kids had driven from Ohio to spend Thanksgiving with family! It was supposed to be a surprise but apparently I was the only one who they could keep it a secret from. I will admit, the moment I walked through the door and saw my sister I burst into tears. Yep, I'm kind of a sap that way. It was sooooo good to see her, the MOST AWESOME SURPRISE EVER!
So, of course after something that awesome I just wanted to spend more time with her and my other sister, so shopping among the hoards it was. And I must admit, it wasn't that bad. I think it was because Black Friday actually started on Thursday this year so there weren't hoards of people everywhere. Plus, I live in Utah where people are super nice, except for when they are driving, then they turn into maniacs.
I'm so thankful for my family. I have a feeling this is going to be a great Christmas.
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving filled with people that you love.
