Happy Turkey Day Part 2

Friday morning we DID NOT join the crowds of people vying for the latest and greatest deal at Walmart, Target or Best Buy. We did not camp out at Best Buy on Wednesday afternoon for the sale that started on Friday. We did consider going to Toys R Us for about 2 seconds when they opened at midnight but I tried really hard to get my shopping done before we went up to Provo so that I would not go bonkers up there. Last year my sister and I stayed up until midnight to get some great online deals but there weren't any sales on line this year. The stores all wanted people to come in I guess but I showed them! I stayed in my warm bed! We kept Lexie again Friday morning until 11ish when Cody and I headed to the mall to get his haircut. I shopped a little while he was at the salon. He wanted Chic Fil A and we got their delicious Peppermint Chocolate Chip Shake. It was outstanding! After the mall I met a friend from high school that I had not seen for a while. It was a 4 hour lunch but lots of fun catching up. Don and the boys stayed at Chris' house and watched football and played basketball. The evening events included freezing our booties off at Thanksgiving Point riding in a wagon pulled by horses to see their light display. This is the second year we have done this and it may continue to be a tradition. We took blankets and squished all together so it wasn't too bad. Funny sidenote-my grandma always takes lots of pictures and because we were all on the wagon she could not get a picture of everyone so after the ride another family got on the wagon and she took a picture of them. Also there was an incident with a purse falling out of the wagon and getting run over by the wagon and the coach behind us. Luckily the purse was recovered and thank goodness it was not my super cute pink patchwork Coach purse or someone would have had to go over the side to retrieve it. After the ride we had really really really hot cocoa and pumpkin bars and chatted with the cousins. We took all the kiddies home and then Cody, Calley, Caleb, Anne, Suzanna, Laurel and me went to the 8:40 showing of New Moon. Right about the part where Belle is wallowing in self pity and the picture is spinning spinning spinning enough to make me puke I decided to listen to the spirit and take Caleb out of there. It was just too much for an 11 year old with the whole "I can't live without you" and "I'll just have to kill myself". I called Don and he came to get us and we went to Iceberg to get Caleb some fries and a shake to sooth his wounded pride. He was quite mad at me for taking him out but I explained to him why. Not that it made much difference to him but it did to me. I also insulted Anne before the show and had to make it up to her by sharing my popcorn and Junior Mints with her. It was a funny insult that was not supposed to be an insult but it just came out wrong. She laughed until she cried and I laughed and played suck up the rest of the night. Don't worry she got me back later that night so we are even! Oh and one more thing - in the movie the first we see Jacob-Cody, Calley, and Laurel all yelled "Sharkboy". (this is in reference to Sharkboy and Lava Girl which Jacob was in a few years ago)
