it was a long, busy weekend. we only had to work a half day on wednesday, so we got a 5 1/2 day weekend.

thursday was thanksgiving. erin did a great job in cooking her first thanksgiving dinner. the turkey took a while longer than planned, but everything was great.

black friday, we went shopping for some bunk-beds for the girls. we may have found some. they went on sale for this week, so we may get them on saturday.

saturday, we went over to my parents house for a family thanksgiving dinner. my brother's family came over from the spokane area and my sister's family was there as well. there were 19 people there. afterwards, we played the new xbox 36o that my brother brought with. we also celebrated my dad's birthday.

sunday, erin's family came home from cuba, so erin took her sister to go pick them up from the airport. her dad actually came home last night. he gave up his seat and stayed a day in los angeles.

monday, we went christmas shopping for the girls. we really didn't find anything yet. still deciding on what to get them. they definitely don't need more toys. b is really getting into art, so we may get some art stuff for her. h is going to be a little more difficult, but we will find something.
