Thanksgiving 2008

I had a tiny little train set and Jett and the cousins were playing with it and needless to say, it is broke!

Jett just loves his tree!

Jett's placing his first Christmas tree ornament. He picked out KU Jayhawk!!

Well, not much has changed in the world of the Chanutians!! We were supposed to head down to Dallas for Thanksgiving to spend it with my TX family, but that did not happen. Jett decided to get a sinus infection and my was so stuffy with mocos coming out that I felt bad leaving him. So, we stayed. I did feel like I had a peacefull extended weekend. We caught up on some movies and of course, raved the BF deals. We got our garage door openers that we wanted for our Christmas gifts, and let me tell you, we got them just in time, it has been colder than shit here!! Thanksgiving started at the Cosby family, with some good white food, drop noodles are my favorite!! Then, we head to the church for the Ponce family gathering and enjoyed the Cowboys game. That night, I got a little sniffle and hurried and popped some IBprofin and was ready to go for BFriday. Our main concern was getting over to Home Depot in Pittsburg(50min away) and get our garage openers. I had it all planned out, I was going to wake up and 5am and order the portable DVD player from walmart online, so that I did not have to go there and get trampled. Well, I get up and the Site was down!!! I yelled at Donnie, "get up, the site is down, we got to go to walmart." We take off, not sure if we had brushed our teeth! The parking lot, plus more were full, so I dropped off Donnie and he went and scurried through that damn mess and then I had found a close spot and parked. It took us 5min. to get the DVD player and 40min to check out!! CRAZY!!! So, Home Depot had opened up at 7 and we made it there a little after 7am. We got our things plus the keyless entry and headed to Joplin to Big Lots. We did not need anything that day at Big Lots but I had to get their add just in case and sure enough there was something that I needed, but was on sale Saturday morning! UGH We headed to Joplin because I wanted to get me a couple of clothes that were on sale that I wanted for cheap. I got one of the vests and if I had not passed them, I would have gotten two, but some other hooker snatched the other one! We got some other things in Joplin and we basically took our time. So, now I am pumped for Saturday Big Lots! The weekend before, I was at Sam's and saw this Black and Decker bench with tools, Jett saw it as well and totally threw a fit because the tools were stuck to the bench and he could not get them out. This set was $49. At, big lots they had it for $25, so, I load up in my Prius on Saturday and drive my happy ass to go get my great purchase. I get there with 15 min. to spare. There were cars already there but not a line of formating people, except for one little boy, he was there for the motorcycle santa. So, I get all my warm stuff on and head to the door. Then the line started to form! The little boy was on my side and he got my tool set for me along with an extra 34 more tools for $15. I am crazy, I know, but I love it!! Bargins that is!

I had a crazy fun Thanksgiving in C-town!
