As uncool as it makes me, I spent Black Friday in its entirety cleaning carpets in our house.  And Fred got called into work, so he didn’t do any better.  But since that’s NOT probably what anyone wants to see or hear from our end, here are at least some cute pix from our Thanksgiving celebrations.  Once I get a few moments to generate a “real post,” I’ll write again.  But until then, here’s our crazy family (and a couple close friends) enjoying the holiday (the night before, and then Thanksgiving Day):

The picture that will, no doubt, be showing up in our Christmas cards/emails (the one-time-annually good pic of all 4 of us):

Hope most of you got some great deals on the awesome sales this weekend!  I’ll have to just live vicariously this time around.
