What do you do on Black Friday?

Today was spent running just a couple errands this morning with Jamie.  We stopped at Philips & Company to have her ring fix and altered some.  Then to Lyndsy’s salon to buy some products and then to Deseret Book and Zurchers (sp) and then home.  The afternoon was spent decorating the tree and setting up Christmas Decorations with the help of Peyton, Lexi and Jordyn Lyn.  Tucker and Neal even stepped in and hung some ornaments.  It is always nice to have that project out of the way and be able to enjoy the festive atmosphere of yet another Christmas Season.

Jamie, Tucker and the kids met Maren and her kids at the movie theater.  A totally last minute decision!  The scurried out the door to get to the theater on time.  Neal and I went to a viewing for Thatchers.  Sad to lose someone any time but during the holidays (I think) would be a bit harder.

We all rounded the corner and landed home at about 7:30.  Emmi came in from Stansbury to spend the night and the Jeff Hintze family stopped by to visit.  CJ and Justin are in town.  How fun to see them.  We love those boys and miss them and wish they lived closer to the family.  Jeff and his family left about 10:30 leaving CJ, Ryan and Grayson to play games.  Around the table we had Neal, Lyndsy, Emmi, CJ, Ryan, Jamie, Tucker, me, and Derek!  Grayson was by Derek most of the evening but didn’t actually play.  We played What Were You Thinking and Color Me.  Both games had us in tears most of the night, we were laughing so dang hard!  We thought Lyndsy was going to start in labor!  Everyone left about 3 a.m.  Typical of how late our family usually plays games.  We just don’t want the evening to end!

Some pictures of Friday:

Now the next picture is fascinating.  Mindy put her phone in the middle of the table, standing on it’s end and it vibrated its way in a circle taking a picture of all of us as it went around and stopping where it started.  You can tell that we were all fascinated with the whole concept! (Well, except maybe Justin!)

Justin drawing a caricature of Ryan.  Pretty good!
