We spent our Thanksgiving with almost everybody this year. I always believe that the Thanksgiving holiday always begins when you start preparing the dishes you are to take to the celebrations...so for us it started Wednesday night, the day before Thanksgiving. Josh was so much help in the kitchen cutting up fruits and veggies for the fruit salad and the veggie tray. It was so nice having help in the kitchen this year...this was the first year he blessed me with his help in the preparation. Early Thursday, Thanksgiving morning, we were up, loading the Mountaineer and headed to Sedalia to go to the Walker Thanksgiving. We spent the morning and afternoon at Grandmother and Granddaddy Walker's, along with the rest of the Walker crew. Then we headed over to Steve & Mellody's to bring in the holiday with the whole Allee bunch for the evening. There I was able to go through all of my circulars for the whole Black Friday shopping extravaganza...which YES I did participate in :) By about 9:30 p.m., it was time to pack up and head to Jefferson City to get to my mom and John's house where we would be staying for the entire Thanksgiving weekend. When we arrived, Mom, Josh, and I were going through the Black Friday circulars again just to make sure we had our route planned and ready to go for the next morning...which was set to start at 3:00 a.m. Black Friday came and went, and we got everything we were after to get. Too much fun for one morning!
Saturday would bring on more Thanksgiving celebration. This time we went out to Aunt Pam & Uncle Doug's house in Centertown to bringing in the holiday season with the Ives'. After a great visit with the Ives crew, we headed back to mom's house. When I called to tell her we were on our way, I was surprised with a visit from Aunt Jenein and Stephanie. So, as soon as we arrived back at mom's us girls headed out for a late afternoon on the town. It was great being able to spend time shopping with them for the holidays! Later that evening when we arrived back at mom's house, we had more visitors come over for the evening. Kelsey, Ryan and Cash came to collect their cookie dough which they bought from Braden's fundraiser. It was a nice visit.
It is always awesome to be able to spend your holidays...even though it lasts an entire weekend long to get everyone in ;) ....with family and friends!
Aunt Belinda had a craft project for Braden at the Walker Thanksgiving, this is them making paper snowmen....it was so cute watching them interact with each other and brainstorm the best way to make a snowman ;)

I love this picture, Braden and Josh were playing with the camera taking picutes of themselves while at the dinner table, they were so funny to watch!
