Josh and I knew that with buying a house and getting moved, there was no way we'd make it up to see my sister around Christmas, so we planned a trip for Thanksgiving to get up there and see them.
It was such a great weekend. We drove up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and got there late that night. Thursday was a beautiful, relaxing Thanksgiving. Josh and Mark deep fried the turkey so we spent some time sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather and tossing around a football. Dinner was delicious. Seriously, that turkey was the best I've ever had.
On Friday, we enjoyed some Black Friday shopping. Since we knew we were closing on our house in a couple weeks, there was a couple things we needed. We ended up just getting a couple small things and some pots and pans from Target. We didn't go out early in the morning, but man, Elliott was pooped through all the shopping!
On Saturday, we went out to a friend of Jamie and Mark's land and shot some guns. Mark has several guns so we shot them all. It was a lot of fun and Josh and I both shot some stuff we'd never shot before. Even Elliott got to shoot her first gun (a BB gun). We had a great time, even though it was freezing!
We had to head back on Sunday to get back so Josh could go to work on Monday, but we had the best weekend! We are so thankful to have family so close who we love so much!
