Best Best BEST weekend ever!


It all started with an amazingly delicious thanksgiving meal. Wow. All of the food was amazing and we ate ourselves silly as usual. We survived another year of black friday shopping. We almost died at Walmart - both inside and outside of the store. Despite the total chaos we were able to get out faster than anticipated. Ruby decided she didn't want to miss out on all the action and refused to sleep so we ended up bringing a 7 month old, bright eyed girl out to Kohls for her first midnight shopping experience! We got a lot of great deals and I got a few horrified "you are a terrible mother" looks - totally worth it! We shopped around all day long including 3 trips to meijer, a quick stop at JC Penny, and a LONG wait at JoAnn's. The day ended with a delicious batch of pocki!

***3 BIGGEST fans***
Saturday was easily the third best day of my life (Preston informed me that it's offensive to rate a win over the buckeyes above the birth of your child or wedding day...). The weather was PERFECT and the game was GLORIOUS! Our seats made it a LITTLE hard for us to see the action, as did the very unpopular camera guy, but nothing could dampen our spirits when the final buzzer rang and we rushed the field screaming HAIL TO THE VICTORS! Literally my face hurt from smiling so much! We raced home for some INSANELY thick and delicious grilled steaks at Tim's house. The perfect day. The PERFECT weekend.

Annette, thanks for saving the day! I am just getting ready to mail Toshi's letter and there weren't any new blog entries until NOW!! Great job!

Note to everyone.. Ruby is not smiling because of the outcome of the game.. she is smiling because we had just seen some very cute squirrels eating pumpkin seeds in the road and she thought they were very amusing. Lots of chuckles made it the best weekend for me also.
