so much to be thankful for

Thanksgiving was awesome this year. Greg and I spent the day with Greg's family. First we had an incredible dinner made by Greg's mom!!


Then we spent some time relaxing and sleeping!!



Even dixie took in some much needed relaxation.















Finally we went to Uncle Jonas and Auntie Anne's house for some games and family fun.















This is our new second cousin mia who is just so precious.


We took a short break for a Beiler family photo (gentry and greg both took some shots with a ton of help from the many "photographers" off screen).

At midnight, Gentry, Lavale, and I headed off to the outlets to get some first minute christmas shopping done. i really thought no one would be there but i was shocked. there was so many people there. you couldn't even see the clothes the lines were so long and wrapped around the entire stores. i guess it was all for the experience.















after not much luck at the outlets, we headed home so i could get some sleep before heading out to exton. i was inspired by someone at work this year to get my christmas shopping done early. she told me the week before thanksgiving she would be done her christmas shopping before thanksgiving. i decided this would be the year that i would get it done. i made my lists and planned my routes and just had to follow the plan. it worked like a charm. i only have a few more gifts to go. so exciting.

anyway, all in all it was a great thanksgiving (and black friday)! can't wait for next year!!
