Thanksgiving was this week, which means that mine and Collin's school week was shortened! We had Thursday and Friday off, and I had a half day on Wednesday! Thanksgiving was at my grandparents this year like usual, and it was mayhem like usual! My Aunt Kristen drove in from California the day before with her two dogs, and my other grandparents came from Prescott with their dog named Hank, who is full of energy! Their was also my cousins and my aunt and uncle.
Everyone was there by about three, and there were a lot of things going on. There was a total of six dogs that were running everywhere, people were all in groups talking to one another, and my grandma was still busy finishing cooking some of the food! (She let me help cook one of the desserts!) We took all of our family photos outside in the backyard (which was a chore), and after a little while it was time to eat. The turkey was delicious, along with all of the side dishes such as the mashed potatoes and the corn. After everyone was full, there was more socializing until dessert came, which was also very filling! Eventually, everyone went home after a long day of eating.
Despite the fact that this was the biggest event of the long weekend, there was still much more to come. The next day was black Friday, and we got to go see a new movie at AMC, which was very enjoyable! That took up most of the morning, and in the afternoon, my mom and I did some Christmas shopping. It took us a while to find what we were looking for though, and we had to go to three different stores until we found it!
On Saturday, I went with my mom again to the farmers market while Collin was in physical therapy. He actually got to got to watch Isabelle's friend's band play after, which he had a lot of fun at! My mom and I were at the farmers market for about an hour, and then we were able to go to the pizza place that was right next to it called Grimaldi's for a quick lunch! At the end of the day, my aunt and uncle came over with my cousins, along with my Aunt Kristen to have dinner. We just had some burgers and talked, which was fun to do even though we just had Thanksgiving dinner!
On Sunday, my mom went out with my grandma and Aunt Kristen for brunch, and then they went shopping for a LONG time. Collin, my dad, and I ran a lot of errands while they were gone, but when we got back, my mom still was not home. After we got back though, we mostly just rested! When it looked like the day was almost over, my mom called my dad and she said that we could go out to eat at Babbo's with my grandparents and aunt before she went back to California! While we were there, it actually started pouring and my grandpa and I had to pull up the car for everyone else because it was coming down so hard! We had a really fun time while we were there, and by the time that was over, so was the day! Thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!
