Thanksgiving

    What a wonderful couple of days! Filled with food, friends, and fun. We followed the Molter tradition and had our Thanksgiving feast on Wednesday. I made an apple pie (definitely not as good as my Mom's!) I wasn't happy with how the crust turned out. Carter and I are going to the Atkinson's on Sunday for dinner so I'm going to take another stab at the pie. I also made the turkey, salad, rolls (not from scratch). Carter made mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn. It was all wonderful!



    Then Thursday we sat, and sat, and sat, in a line for black Friday. This is what the line looked like when we arrived at 1:45 . . . 

   Completely empty . . . Originally we planned to get there at 4 but one of Carter's coworkers told him to get there earlier. We sat in our car for two hours enjoying the sunshine. Then at four a few more people showed up so we set up our camping chairs and began our adventure for black Friday. The good thing was we sat next some really fun people. It made the time move faster, but still not super fast. By 8 o'clock the line was almost full, and at 9 the line went all the way through the parking lot and almost to the main street.
  The doors opened right at 9 and we were out by 9:15 with the PS3. Carter was excited to get home and set it up! There was no way he was waiting until Christmas to open his big present.
   Isn't he cute?!

  All in all it has been a great couple of days and now it is time to enjoy some left over turkey :) and homework. Hope all is well for you! Enjoy this holiday season!

  1. Sorry Carter - he must wait until Christmas to open his Christmas present. Otherwise it's a Thanksgiving present! I think you should wrap it up and hide it until then! Happy leftover day!
