Turkey Week

So from a previous post, you already know that we went to Charlotte this year for Thanksgiving. After finally making it there, we started off the week by shopping (of course!) But in case you are wondering, it wasnt very "fun" shopping. We got to go to Sam's Club our first day there to buy all the groceries for the week...fun...I know...not really.

Wednesday morning the rest of my siblings came in from Utah, we all just kind of laid around the house that day, up until that afternoon when we got to go to my brothers' wrestling tournament. We went for a couple of hours and it was fun to get to see them wrestle and WIN. Then late Wednesday night is when Mike flew into Charlotte to spend the Holiday with us.

Thursday morning we all got ready and we headed out to "The Farm" which is my dad's land he owns in South Carolina. Its a place where all of us like to hang out, we have 4-wheelers out there, lots of land to run around on, and the boys get to hunt out there. There is also a house/cabin where us, girls, like to hang out and watch movies and play games. And this year we got to spend Turkey Day out there..paper plates and all...clean up was amazing. It was fun to have the whole gang there. Late that night all of us gals headed home and left the boys there to stay the night b/c they were getting up bright and early to go hunting while us girls were getting up bright and early to hit the Black Friday Sales.

After our early morning Shopping, we got back to the house and just chilled the rest of the day. The boys got back later that night...it was a nice to be able to lay around and do absolutely nothing.

Saturday most of us got up and went shopping at the amazing South Park Mall (a huge, nice mall in Charlotte where all the "richies" shop) I LOVE this mall...we spent the whole morning and into the afternoon there. Had some lunch and Cheesecake Factory and life was good. That night we decided to do the Hall Family Christmas while we were all together....we all got to open up our gifts that we got for each other and our gifts from Mom and Dad. Lets just say Addison got very spoiled that evening from Grandpa Ladd and Nana Sally.

Sunday was just a normal day for the most part, got up, went to church, came home, ate dinner, and we were lazy the rest of the day...which leads us up to Monday when Mike, Addison, and I left for our long journey home. But we made it, life is good, and glad to say that we had a good time being home with the whole fam back in Charlotte.
