The Brant Bunch

We had some big Thanksgiving and Christmas fun last week. We started out with "Snoopy's Thanksgiving." My kids favorite meal does not include turkey, so not too long before the big meal the kids settle down with popcorn, jelly beans, pretzels, and toast just like Snoopy. They also watch the movie Snoopy's Thanksgiving while they eat. Soon after this early meal my brother and his family showed up and we had a very yummy Thanksgiving meal that my parents made. We spent the rest of the day laying around talking, playing, and watching football.

Friday morning Melissa, Mom, and I were up bright and early for Black Friday sales. It was super early (4:00 am) but loads of fun. The best part is that I saved about $200. Yeah!

Since this Christmas is my husbands families turn we decided to do Christmas at Thanksgiving. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever to already be getting presents. The girls both got new bedspreads. All the kids got Wii Mario Cart, which has been loads of fun.




Kase and Jaycie just love to play with each other and are always sad to say good-bye.

Well it's Monday and it feels like a Monday! I already wish I could take a nap. Not a bad day I just don't want to clean house, work, or do all the things I really need to do today.

Tonight I joined my good friend to go to Christmas Carousel Pre-view party. We had a great time. What's better than shopping kid free with a friend. Mom and Dad watch the kids, so that I could go. (It's Art's poker night)

The group of store is smaller this year, but there is of course good stuff. I got some cute jewelry at a great price. The food was really fun they had Asian, Mediterranean, and Mexican. The squash quesadilla's were the best.
