This post is full of random things we did the week of Thanksgiving!! I had the whole week off from work which was wonderful! Monday, I went to a neat restaurant and did some shopping with my Big Mama friends. We have known each other for 16 years and one of us came up with that name and it just sort of stuck a long time ago. Then Monday night, Emma stayed with my mom and Scott and I went to see Breaking Dawn: Part 2. It was amazing- as was the popcorn and coke!! :)
Lillie stayed with mom Monday night with Emma too. Lillie made Emma a bracelet that you can see she is wearing in the picture. She had a mouth full of goldfish in this picture.
My mom got Emma a big girl twin bed to see if she would sleep in it. She has been sleeping with us for a year now. She got sick a year ago and refused to sleep in her crib. Then we got her a toddler bed and she slept a few nights in it, but not many. It was not made for us to lay down with her at night. She loves this bed and has been sleeping in it since we got it. She even took a 3 hour nap in it Tuesday after we got back from lunch for Lillie's birthday.
Here she is watching Mickey Mouse and eating Sushi. What a life!!!
Here is Lillie (the birthday girl) holding Emma and her friend outside of the restaurant. They were about to release some balloons into the air.
I do not have any pictures of Thanksgiving. But, we ate lunch at Scott's grandparents and dinner with my mom. My parents are divorced, but I am so glad that they can be around each other and get along. My dad came over to my moms to eat dinner with us. Thursday night, my mom kept Emma so we could go shopping Thursday night. I hate that employees have to work on Thursday night, but I would much rather go shopping at night than first thing in the morning. Here is our shopping crew minus Scott, who was taking the picture. Josh (behind me who was Scott's college roommate) really was having fun. Don't let the picture fool you! :)
Here we are about to tackle Toys R Us. It was not bad because they only let a certain number of people in at a time. Then we went to Wal-Mart which was very orderly and organized, Target, and then finished off at the Mall. Belk's was a mad house because they were having their huge sale on boots.
Friday afternoon, my mom and us went to get our trees from a local tree farm. We wanted to get Emma her own little tree. We thought we could cut one of these little ones down for her to put in her bedroom. We later found out that this tree was not for sell. OOPS!!! But the owner is super sweet and did not even let us pay for it. We have been going for several years and will continue to get our trees from him.
She insisted on carrying her tree. :)
She did let her daddy help her along the way.
