After shopping on Friday, D.J., the girls, and I got ready and went over to D.J.'s parents house and celebrated Thanksgiving with his family. We got to eat turkey and all the fixings again, yummy! Kierstin played with Gianna and they had a lot of fun.
Saturday, the girls went over to my parents house. Kierstin got to help put up their Christmas tree with Grandpa and had so much fun. She also got to play video games. D.J. and I stayed home most of the day. I worked on homework and D.J. played PS3 until our internet went out. After D.J. worked on it for awhile, he decided to call Centurytel and there was an outage in our area. They said it would several hours before it came back on. So finally, D.J. and I decided to go eat dinner and then we went to Target. We bought a few more gifts for Kierstin (even though she has been done for awhile now) and D.J. got Guitar Hero for the PS3. He has been playing Cortney and Matt's for the Wii and decided he wanted one for his PS3 and it was on sale, so we bought it. After Target, we came home and our internet was working so I did homework and D.J. played Guitar Hero.
Sunday, we got up and D.J. played more Guitar Hero and I worked on homework. Later on, we left for my parents house. When we got there, Kierstin was so excited about the snow. She went out on the deck and stuck her tongue out to catch snowflakes. We had lunch and then I worked on homework....can you tell I have a ton of homework this week? When Kierstin gets up from her nap, we will be heading home and I will be doing more homework...fun!
We hope that everyone had a fun weekend!

Happy Black Friday!
Yes, it's that time of year again....Black Friday!!!!!
As most of you know, my mom, sister, and I always brave Black Friday. It's been a tradition for many years and we absolutely love this day!
Our morning started around 2:30am. My mom picked me up and we headed to JCPenny's off Highway N and can you believe there was a line??? At JCPenny's??? They opened at 4am, so that was our first stop and then we headed over to pick up Cortney and we went to Walmart. They were supposed to open up at 5am, but we got there at 4:40am and they had already opened the doors. Apparently, there were over 500 people in line. Although, they opened the doors, the could not releasee any of the Doorbuster sales. I found what I was looking for and waited patiently around the turnstyle with about 50 other people for something there was only 20 of. When the time came, I bolted into the crowd and managed to get one...something for Kierstin, I can't wait to give it to her; although I did get knocked in the head by an elbow, but I think it was an accident, maybe! My mom got what she was looking for and we got lots of other things too. We then went to Target and got some great deals and then off to the mall. The mall wasn't too bad, but it was only about 7am. After the mall, we went to Toys R Us, where we learned there was a 2 hour wait to check out, so we looked through the store and decided we would head back there tomorrow for the same deals. After Toys R Us, it was time for breakfast and then we went to Kohl's and back to Walmart for something we forgot. I was home by noon! It was another great day and one we will not forget.
There wasn't a lot of drama this year either, which we thrive for, but, oh well!
Did anyone else brave the crowds???
P.S. Mom, next year, we are getting t-shirts made!!

Busy Monday
Good Afternoon!
Today, Kierstin got up and had breakfast and then played a little bit. A guy came over to look at our garage damage....our garage got damaged a few weeks ago when our neighbor's 2 year old son ran into it with his 4-wheeler, so we had to get an estimate on the damage so that their home owner's insurance could pay for it. After he left, Kierstin and I went shopping while D.J. stayed home with Audrey. Kierstin and I went to Target to look for some bows for Kierstin and Audrey for our Christmas pictures tomorrow, but we had no luck; luckily my mom found some at the mall. After Target, Kierstin and I went to Walmart for some things and then we went to Schnucks to go grocery shopping, they were packed for the holiday shoppers. Kierstin loves to ride in the buggy cart and get a pieces of cheese from the deli. She was such a good girl! After grocery shopping, we came home and D.J. unloaded all of the groceries and I put them away and then we all had lunch while Audrey slept. After we had lunch, Audrey woke up for her lunch and I fed her while D.J. and Kierstin played! Now, D.J., Kierstin, and Audrey are all napping while I am doing homework, returning emails, updating the blog, and doing laundry!
Hope everyone is having a good Monday!

BIG Weekend!
Hello!
Friday, Audrey turned 3 months old...time flies! Friday started off with Christmas shopping with the girls, my mom, and Cortney. We went to Target, Walmart, Sams, and had lunch at Red Robin. I had to buy a birthday present for Chase and Cortney had to buy a birthday present for a friend. We also did some Christmas shopping! Kierstin had a lot of fun looking at all of the toys and telling us what she wants for Christmas. Audrey slept through most of it. After the shopping, Cortney and I went to the hospital to see our friend, Shannon's, new baby boy...Welcome Kyle! Then I went home to meet D.J. and we went out to dinner with Cortney and Matt and some other friends.
Saturday...Happy Birthday Tracie (D.J.'s sister)!!! Saturday, D.J. worked a little bit and I did some homework and then we had to get ready for our day! We went by to pick up the girls at my parents house and then we went to Jump 4 Fun for Chase's 7th birthday...Happy Birthday Chase! Kierstin was the only girl there, but she had lots of fun going down the slides and jumping in the bounce houses. Audrey, of course, slept through most of it. After Chase's birthday party, we went to our friends, Scott and Libby's, house for our annual Jamesgiving dinner. Every year, Scott and Libby invite all of their friends and their families over for a thanksgiving dinner. Everything was soooo good! Kierstin had so much fun playing with all of the kids and we enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Thanks Scott and Libby for hosting the party!
Sunday, we went to my parents house for lunch. My mom cooked a ham (D.J.'s favorite, he LOVES this ham she makes and eats about 10 pounds of it at a time) and then we talked about Christmas and played Uno Blaster!
We hope everyone had a great weekend!

Play Date Fun
We hosted a play date on Friday for some of Kierstin's friends and everyone had a blast. All of the kids played so nicely together while the mommy's chatted and caught up on everything. The kids had lunch together and then played some more. Baby Aiden, Big Boy Aidan, Nathan, Grace, and Jake came over for the day and had so much fun. We can't wait to do it again.

Weekend Report
Kierstin and Audrey spent a long weekend with Grandma Gayla and Grandpa David and of course, had a blast. They went to Chesterfield mall and rode the carousel, shopped, and rode rides. They also played video games, colored, played toys, and watched movies.
I spent Friday morning going Christmas shopping and got a lot marked off my list. Walmart is already playing Christmas music, but then again, the radio stations are also playing it. Friday night, D.J. and I were invited over to Cortney and Matt's house for dinner and Matt cooked a yummy meal for us. We played Wii and watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall....very funny movie!
Saturday, D.J. and I got up and went to the movies and saw Role Models...hilarious and totally recommended. After that, we went to Best Buy to see Cortney and I got a new cell phone. My old cell phone was over 3 years old and dropping calls and since I was qualified for an upgrade, we got a great deal. Then we went to see Matt until Cortney got off work and when she got home, we all went to dinner and then came back and played more Wii.
Sunday, we went to my parents house for lunch, watched the Rams lose, and played Dominos.
D.J. is still recuperating from his cold, but is almost done with his antibiotics, so hopefully he will be fully better soon!
We hope everyone had a great weekend as well!

Halloween
Halloween started off with D.J. and I taking Kierstin to her Halloween party at school. She went to school in her costume dressed as an adorable witch. The kids had a parade where each class went to the other classes and trick-or-treated. The kids played games, decorated cookies, painted pumpkins, and had snacks. Kierstin had a blast.
After Kierstin's party, we came home and Kierstin went out with Grandma Gayla while D.J. and I stayed home with Audrey. Later on, we went to pick up Cortney and Grandma Mary. We went to Mom and Dad's house for dinner and a night of trick-or-treating. D.J., Cortney, Matt, and I took Kierstin trick-or-treating, but she had more fun handing out the candy.
We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
