Ok, still playing catch up here on my post- so forgive me, but these two events have become one post- even though they really have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
On November 19, my fabulous husband turned the big 22! I wanted to spend the whole day doing fun, awesome things together- but my worker bee husband wanted to work on our house! So instead of taking a trip to Williams for pie- we went to Rock Springs which is only like an hour away. Then we hit up:
Nothing like some good ol' bad ass bbq! It was quite delicious. Sorry, I am a slacker and don't have many pictures of his special day.
That night we had my parents, his parents, and Marvin & Sarah over for dinner (since it is Marvin's birthday too.) I must admit, it was a pretty tasty spread. We had Mexican style flank steak, mashed potatoes, salad, and spanish rice with homemade ice cream for dessert. DELICIOUS!
Speaking of delicious...
Check out my breakfast of champions on Black Friday morning! Yup, an orange monster with blueberry donut holes. It doesn't get much better than that. That is the kind of fuel you need when you are waking up at 2:30 am to pick up your sis and hit the stores! There were all kinds of awesome deals going on this year! I only wish we had more money so I could have taken advantage of more of them. For example- the only thing I reeeeeeeeally want for Christmas is the Cricut Expression and WalMart had it on sale for less than $200! Usually it's like double that- and WalMart even had it in like 4 different colors! Unfortunately, I didn't have that much to spend.
Check out all the fun things I got though:
NICE! I can't wait til next year. I'll have to start saving up ASAP.

Here she is holding her golden ticket to get one the limited quantity cameras at Best Buy. Best Buy is smart- they hand out these tickets to people who get there super early, and it guarantees the ticket holder the item they desire as long as they are back before noon to claim it. That way, you don't spend your entire morning waiting in long line, in the cold, for just one item.
Jessica rocked Black Friday. I'm pretty sure saved just as much if not more than she spent and knocked out a huge chunk of her holiday shopping all in one morning. It was totally fun! Here's where we went:
-picked up the ticket at Best Buy
-went to Kohl's to get Barbies for the girls
-over to WalMart, which was chaos, so we left
-back to Best Buy to get Jessica's camera
-Paradise Bakery for breakfast
-off to Target
-quick stop at Old Navy
-potty break at Mom & Dad's
-K-Mart
-Harbor Freight Tools
-then Big Lots!
- dropped Jessica off back at home so she could decorate with her family
-THEN the Kirkland Store
-Deseret Book
-AND a quick trip to the Dollar Tree.
Later that day I also went to Sams Club and Costco- but not for shopping- just to get some membership things squared away. It was a super busy day, and I did it all on about $100 and less than two hours of sleep. By the end of the day, I was totally pooped!!
NICE! I can't wait til next year. I'll have to start saving up ASAP.
