Sorry I haven't posted in a while (Chrissy :P ) Here are some pics from the past month or so.

Below are pics of my family on Black Friday. This is a favorite holiday of ours, we mostly go for the experience and it is only my second year. This year we shopped from 5 am to 12:30 pm. Gotta love it! It's a requirement to look gross when you have been up since 4:30 am so don't look too closely. Unfortunately Bryce had to work so he didn't get to come this year. The dogs also had a fun time hanging out for a few days. I think Max enjoyed it the most. ;)

The happy Shoppers





And here are some of the Christmas pictures we took.

A few odds and ends

Since I haven't updated in a while here are a few random things from the past few weeks:



First and scariest is that I found four different charges on my credit card that I had no idea what they were. I had paid off the card and made only one purchase on it since then and had been keeping it in a box, but last month there were charges on it from Nevada. I called the card company and they gave me a phone number that was the same for all four charges. When I called it, it was an automated system talking about account updates, but it didn't say the name of the company and there were no options to speak to anyone. It just hung up on me. I called twice just to make sure and then called my credit card company back. They cancelled the card, took the charges off my account, notified the three major credit companies and they are investigating the charges. I am so scared! If anyone has experience or advice let me know. I don't know if there is more that I should be doing or not. And I am clueless as to how they got my account information which is even more scary.



On a lighter note, here is a picture of the two brain dead dogs. We put these craft button things on their noses and they didn't even notice they were there! He He! We like to find different ways to torture the poor things and laugh at them. What else are dogs for? jk


Here is a picture of our thankful jar that we made. Jennifer invited us over one night for FHE and this is what they were doing. We weren't able to go but I liked the idea and thought I would copy her. I guarantee theirs looed professional and not 2nd grade-homemade like mine but it's what's inside that counts right?

These are a few of the things we wrote down during the month. It was fun to go back through them and find out what each other had written. Some were funny and some were serious, but there is a story behind all of them. It is nice to have a holiday every year centered around being grateful.
