WINNER WINNER TURKEY DINNER



It was a crazy couple of days for the Alexander house over the holiday weekend. Grandma Gayle's birthday was on Wednesday and ALL she wanted was Dixon for her birthday so he went to stay the night with Grandma Dan, Grandma Gayle and Aunt Natalie. When we picked him up on Thursday we went to Grandma Patty's for a WONDERFUL Turkey dinner! Dixon LOVED seeing all of his family and exploring a new house!
While we were there Auntie Tashie and I were discussing how we were going to excute our yearly BLACK FRIDAY tradition with another little shopper riding along, when Aunt Darcy offered to keep Dixon all night! We planned to drop Dixon off after dinner #2 at Grandpa Louie and Grandma Nancy's...which was another delicious feast!

BLACK FRIDAY~!

This Black Friday was our most intense one ever! Auntie Tasha and I left at 10:00 pm for Williamsburg to Tanger Outlet Mall...they opened at 12:00. By 2:00 we were on our way back to Des Moines to open up Younkers at 4:00, Wal-Mart at 5:00 and Target at 6:00 ( as we were standing in line in the bitter cold I remarked, "Wait a minute, I hate Target!). It was one crazy night, but I had a blast spending time with Auntie Tashie! We arrived at her apartment at 6:30 to go to bed...But when I woke up there were many more bags in the living room than I had remembered...Tasha had left at 6:30 for Jordan Creek...talk about a shopaholic! I picked up Dixon at noon, he had a blast at Aunt Darcy's with Uncle Marty, Casey, and Carter...they even had an late night party! Thanks Whites'...I had a fun filled night!

Max Attacks!

Adam picked up Max on his way home from work, we got to have him spend the night on Friday. I have still been having Max spend the night at our house once a month since Dixon has been born. I LOVE to see Max and watch him grow and mature, he amazes me every time I see him. This time he was more interested in Dixon than ever. He was down on the floor crawling with him, playing with his train and giving him his Wubba when he was fussy! They will be able to learn so much from each other! Saturday we went to Target in the afternoon! I know, I always forget about my boycott! ;)
