I'm thankful for commercialism

We had fun in Idaho Falls for Thanksgiving. Ahhh the memories... turkey, pie, kids playing, 6AM door buster sales. (What?) I had never been shopping on the busiest day of the year, and now I can say I have; My conclusion is why would you ever want to go shopping on the busiest day of the year? The "deals" are what entice us, but it's a little scary how many people can come together for a super sale. Some were determined, filled with impatience, (even in Idaho). Actually it was fun or entertaining to say the least. I was really lame and didn't take any photos of our holiday, so I'm jumping head first into commercialism and showing you some of the fabulous things I bought while out and about.

No more cleaning my hardwood... I hope


Grace's x-mas




Mom's x-mas (I want a piano, but since I can't play I'll be mastering the Casio Keyboard first.)


Just a fun story as a side note. On our drive to Idaho Falls we stopped in Tremonton to take Grace into the playland at McDonalds. While pondering the menu, I looked over my shoulder to see Grace throwing up all over Chad, the floor, a turkey donation display, etc. The look in the employees eyes was not one of thankfulness. Chad tried to catch the mess in his hands, which ya know... doesn't work. Curdled milk does not smell so great and after Chad took Grace into the restroom and got all cleaned up we decided Quizno's would taste better, smell better, and a playland was no longer a factor. Hope they didn't see us leave.

Looks like the shopping was successful. I remember some of those things. Thanks for getting those cute monkey pjs. I saw them and wished I had someone who would wear them... I know I am weird.

The lights at the temple look beautiful and I haven't seen the Clarks forever. That was a fun post to look at. As for the throwing up, poor Gracey. Charlie did it on the plane...you can't just leave.
