It was a busy Thanksgiving weekend!
Thursday was Thanksgiving.
We stayed home this year for Thanksgiving and my side of the family came to our house for the day. It was the first time for us to host Thanksgiving and the first time in {at least the last} 7 years that my whole immediate family was together. We ate, watched some football, kids played and we ate some more.
Amazing that everyone is looking at the camera! I think that might be a first!

Thursday night my mom, sister and I went out and did some shopping {yes, you can call us crazy}. However we decide shopping on Thanksgiving is not worth it. At all. You can get the same sales on Friday {DURING the day, NOT in the middle of the night!} So we went home and slept and then went back out the next morning. People are crazy though when it comes to Black Friday.
Friday was the Civil War.
Russ went to the Civil War game. Our brother-in-law is a UofO alum and has season tickets and invited Russ to go with him.
The kids and I headed up to my Aunt and Uncles in Portland to watch the game. It was a great game! The Beavers actually put up a fight and we lost by only one point. It was sad, we were so close to winning. But it was a way better game then we thought it would be so it was a lot of fun to watch!
Friday night we stayed at my sisters and Russ stayed at his sisters.
Saturday we went to Zoo Lights.
Saturday Russ helped his sister and brother-in-law move and we hung out with my sister. And then went to Zoo Lights!

Sunday we got our Christmas Tree.

Well, that was a busy four day weekend!
Hope you had a fun Thanksgiving weekend!
