Our Thanksgiving turned out pretty great.
We bought a turkey breast earlier this week when we thought it was just going to be us, and then bought another one when we found out two other families were coming over to join us (to make sure we had lots of leftovers!!). So I put both in the oven together and they actually turned out pretty good! The gravy was almost edible. It was a little too salty.
Everyone else brought lots of yummy food too, and we had a great feast!
Jordan was so great! He got up early Thursday morning to grab a newspaper so we could look through the black friday adds. Then he headed to Idaho Falls a little before 2am this morning to stand in line at Target for a new TV (and other things, but that was his main motive). We made a shopping list for him, and he found every single thing on the list from the 3 stores, and made it back around 7am. What a trooper! (he's napping now :) He totally made out like a bandit with all his great finds! Everything was a steal, but the electronics were the pricier items so we're happy we finally have an external hard drive, and portable dvd players for the car (those will be so nice for long trips with Calin!!!), and a TV that works! I was SO set on NOT gettting a TV till after we moved from Rexburg or till ours completely went out, but a 40" LCD 1080p HDTV for $298 was too good to pass up. Now we just have to figure out how it works. We figured out how to play a DVD, but the remote won't function properly with it (actually none of our remotes function properly with this TV, even the DVD player remote that I have never programed to the TV messes it up). And we still need to figure out how to hook up the cable. Oh, and it's 1" too wide for our entertainment center so we have to turn it diagonally to fit, but we are still super happy with it!!
And here is a video for the grandparents. Calin's latest word is "light" and he sure loves them! I think he's really going to enjoy Christmas time!

Oh I'm so glad y'all got that hdtv, we were trying to get the same one to put in the kid's loft but Stephen didn't have as good of luck. He waited from 2-4am in front of Target with about 20 in front of him. When he got inside all of them were snatched up. :( But our neighbor's friend who works at Target said they may get another shipment in tonight.
Glad y'all had a nice Thanksgiving. Calin is so precious in the video.
So you finally gave in and got a TV. Probably just to shut Jordan up huh? Good deal though. Glad you got all you wanted. And Calin is so cute playing with the lights. He says it so sweetly.
That is precious! When I played the video, Spencer waved uncontrollably at the computer saying "hi." It was pretty cute!
Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Wow that is a steal of a deal, we have the exact same TV and we got ours for $699. Good call with the DVD player too, I should have gotten the same thing. I didn't even think about that!
Ty really likes the lights too in the video. Actually I think he was just excited to see Calin. :)
WOW sounds like Thanksgiving and Black Friday success!!! ;) Love the little video of Calin... and so excited to hear you'll be coming out for XMas. Be sure to send me the dates soon so we can schedule to meet up!!!! xx
Wow Jordan! I know he wanted a TV pretty badly, now I know how badly!! Hope you learn how to work it. What a darling video of the lights! I can't wait to take Calin down Christmas Tree Lane when you come! Love you, Mom
