We drove up to Tacoma Wednesday in order to spend Thankgsiving with Carter's family. We came home Sunday night tired from a fantastic visit with his family full of eating, shopping, catching up, and some more shopping. Wednesday night after Church was spent with the guys prepping the turkey to be fried the next morning. Frying turkey's is Darrell's (carter's dad) specialty and he took pride in delegating the preparation to his boys so he can pass on the tradition.
How many men does it take to prep a turkey?
One turkey for us, another for family friends. Carter and Clay go the job of pulling out all the parts.
The frying process Thansgiving morning. (snow on thanksgiving is odd)
Don't worry, that's just apple cider on the table!
Gotta love the timer on the camera...hence the awkward angle.
Black Friday shopping was crazy. I joined Paula and her friend and friend's daughter for their traditional shopping by starting out at Fred Meyer for their socks. We ended up being out and about for 11 hours (ridiculous I know!!!) and we came home with a bunch of stuff. Here is my pile which got a little bigger after going out Saturday as well. I'm a sucker for a good deal and our wardrobes desperately needed updating!
Friday night Darrell and Paula took us to a Japanese Steakhouse where they prepare your food in front of you on a hibachi grill. The experience was incredibly entertaining and the food was delicious and we left stuffed!! I would recommend it to anybody!
I asked for the kid chopsticks so they were specially wrapped so I could use them properly. It was great!
