Thanksgiving and more

The Thanksgiving Table

Some of the guests

Kids Table

What the kids didn't eat

 Must be time for dessert (don't worry, since Tristan didn't eat he didn't get any)


 Black Friday Timeline
10:30pm (Thursday) Libby and I decide to head to Toys R Us
10:32pm Libby and I decide to try a different Toys R Us since the line at ours is at least two hours long
10:42pm Leave 2nd Toys R Us because the line is at least two hours long
Actually Friday- 9:30am-Head out to Toys R Us Round 3
10:30am- Return home with almost everything on my list- yes! (definitely didn't need to wait in any lines)
Later in the day we also visited the mall and picked up a bunch more stuff- check shopping for Tristan off my list!
Some of The Loot (the rest is hiding in the garage)

Jealous?  Our Black Friday Reward (I even waited in a line on the sidewalk there for the first time ever- normally I refuse to go unless there isn't a line - but apparently on Thanksgiving weekend the tourists are in town and Libby really wanted a cinnamon sugar cupcake)

Not sure he feels the same about our successful day!

I won't even go into the other drama we've been through since the beginning of the week.  Let's just say someone at school gave Tristan a viral infection that's the worst thing ever.  We've already visited the hospital twice. Good times in the Cook household.

Ups and downs. Ups and downs. We certainly are praying that this infection gets worn out and leaves!

Love, mom and the dad

I just heard about the infection last night -- am so sorry! Hope things are going better by this morning. Love, Rosalee
