Today was a double celebration with Thanksgiving and my Mom's birthday. Doug made a delicious traditional turkey dinner. Although I do not eat turkey, I did find the mashed potatoes, noodles, stuffing and green bean casserole to be delicious. Doug was the only one who enjoyed oyster dressing, but his carrot cake was a big hit.
After we cleaned up from dinner, we gave Mom her birthday gift. Cam and Meg picked it out at Lowe's last week - a light up deer. We originally thought about a flamingo, but the deer was a big hit. My Mom has live deer that hang out in her yard throughout the fall, so the Heinisch children thought they would like having a friend.
The boys all played pool most of the afternoon. We left around 4:45 for South Bend for some early Black Friday shopping. The TV that I wanted to look at wasn't at Target, but we got saved over $200 on some Christmas gifts. We stopped at the mall as well. Brett and Doug were just along for the ride, but Meg found some great deals at Hollister. I stopped at Yankee Candle and picked up a few gifts. Cam made his big purchase at the Splat Ball cart coming home with a light bulb and strawberry.
Once we got home my parents came back over to play Hearts. Cam beat us all before the night was over. Cal got home later than we did. He went to Fort Wayne with Alex and Jayce to go shopping. He found a pair of Shaq socks on his trip. It definitely was a traditional Thanksgiving in the Heinisch home.
