Wonderful Thanksgiving

Happy belated Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends!

Mom and Dad and Katie came into town Tuesday night. My sister had to work Thanksgiving day, so she and her husband stayed home. I worked until six Wednesday night, then came back home to make my traditional "green stuff" salad to take to our extended family get together, have hot chocolate and cookies along with a hot game of double canasta (which the girls won, by the way) with the family!

Thanksgiving Day we gathered with the extended family on my mom's mom's side. One of my cousins works for Northwood University in Cedar Hill, so they were able to let us use the Student Activities Center. That campus is absolutely gorgeous. The picture of Dan and me was taken on that campus, on the porch of the 2nd oldest building in Dallas, the Sloan Cabin.

Then, of course, there was today...Black Friday. Kohl's is in our shopping center, and they opened at 4 AM. The other stores in our center weren't that completely insane, but wanted to catch some of the traffic leaving Kohl's, so we, along with Bath & Body Works and Bed, Bath, & Beyond opened at 6 AM. The rest of the stores in our center either opened at 7 or 8. We had a good amount of traffic for most of the morning. We were not overwhelmed, but it was definitely worth the effort of opening early.

Well, that is about it for now. Love to all of my dear friends this holiday season. I am thankful for each and every one of you.
