On Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, my brother Josh and his girlfriend Suzy drove down from Frezno, CA to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. Dave and I, ok, mainly if not all Dave, got the food ready for when they would come over. We woke up bright and early to stuff the turkey, get the turkey in the oven, and even start the pumpkin pie.
They arrived around 10:30 or so, which gave us time to do a little Black Friday shopping. Yikes, I know. We first stopped at Target. It was surprizingly calm. Dave was a little disappointed that there weren't more people. He was hoping to have to do a little elbowing and shoving. They were having a big DVD sale, so we bought four new movies: I Am Legend, Hairspray, Juno and Transformers.
Next we stopped at Circuit City. After we had parked and started walking toward the store entrance we saw a line of people waiting outside. Apparently they were letting only a certain amount of people go in at a time. We waited. It wasn't too long of a wait. We didn't find any good sales.
After that we drove home to fill our empty and hungry stomachs. We had stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, and who knows what else. It was so good. That was the first time Dave ever cooked a whole turkey and it was amazing. Everything was amazing.
Then we went to the living room, all two steps from the table, and played Apples to Apples. It was really fun. Josh technically won because it says to play to 8 points, but in the end, I had more points then him, so I consider it a victory for myself. We had some pumpking pie and then they were off.
