Turkey Day in OKC

We spent our Thanksgiving in OKC with Nana and Keith.  They made a delicious Thanksgiving meal.  After lunch, every one of us took a nap.  It was great!  Wesley and I love OKC, and we really enjoy getting to visit with them.  They just bought a new house in Edmond, and they'll be all moved in the next time we go up there to visit.  Mia will have a lot of fun exploring the gigantic new yard, I'm sure.

I've never participated in "Black Friday" before, but Mia and I had to hit Walgreens to see if we could find some good deals.  We did pretty good.  I got Mia a couple of Christmas presents as well as a couple of other gifts.  My best Black Friday steals were online.  I bought a bunch of stuff from Old Navy's website.  Just about everything I got was five dollars, so I loaded up!  It's so hard to pass up a good deal.  Some of the clothes I bought were for our angel I chose from the Angel Tree at work.  It is an important tradition for us as a family to choose an angel every year.  Wesley and I have been doing Angel Tree every year since I was in college.  I think it helps to remind us how much we have to be thankful for.  It's so exciting to think of that person opening their gifts.  As soon as Mia is old enough, we'll let her start choosing an angel for herself and picking out the gifts. 

Mia had some crazy, wild hair today.  I swear, that child's hair can not be tamed.  I'm still working on it.  On the way home from OKC, we stopped in Norman for lunch.  Ah...such happy memories for me in that town.  Unfortunately, my memory became fuzzy when it came to remembering where an Arby's was.  I got us on the right street, but I could have sworn that the Arby's on Main was on the south side of the street.  I realized later that the one I was thinking of is on Lindsey.  Oh well, we made it there regardless.  Mia wanted to sample my chocolate turnover and proceeded to smear it all over her face.  I wanted to get a picture of her chocolatey face with a big grin, so I made a funny face at her to get her to smile.  As you can see in the picture below, the little turkey was mocking me by trying to mimic my silly face.  Little stinker.

Mia does pretty well on the road.  She is getting better at entertaining herself for longer periods of time.  She kept sticking her Cabbage Patch doll behind her head and wanting me to find it.  She would say, "Mommy! Baby? Baby?" I would pretend to look for it and then say, "There it is!"  Mia would giggle and say, "Baby! Mia head!" It's funny when she cracks herself up.

Both mine and Mia's first Black Friday. I actually did buy the hat.

 Such a silly girl

She had to put Daddy's sunglasses on when we got home.  Now, time to watch the OU/OSU Bedlam game!  Boomer Sooner!
