Happy Thanksgiving!

Freedom From Want
By Norman Rockwell

Today was a busy day getting things ready for our feast tomorrow. We're having some friends over for the meal and the afternoon. I've got some cut out cookie dough chilling in the fridge so some of us can cut out and decorate Christmas cookies sometimes tomorrow. Then in the evening we're planning on starting a bonfire out back and making smores! I just realized that all of our activities are centered around food, food and more food! Yikes! =) Ah well, I can walk it off on Friday when I go shopping! I've never been out shopping the day after Thanksgiving so this year I'm set to go. I've got a plan and a list and I'm not taking Elijah. My dear husband said he could watch him that morning. I'm not planning on going all day, just a couple of hours. I hope every one's in a cheerful holiday mood and that I don't get run over by any shopping carts! Do you have any tips for this 1st time black friday shopper?

May you all have a very special thanksgiving!
