Thanksgiving was suppose to be at my parent's house this year. We usually have Lindsay's (Mitch's wife) family over or we go there for Thanksgiving. So the Devines came over and then we invited the Nielsens since they weren't going to have Britt and Chris there for Thanksgiving. They stayed in a near-by hotel and we stayed at my parent's house. After everyone came over and we ate lots of food, we saw the movie Frozen with everyone and then the Nielsens stayed to play Nerts with us. They were new to it, but near the end they found it to be fun like our family does.
The next day was my birthday, and Black Friday. Since I don't care for shopping I didn't get up very early to shop like my sisters and mom, so Brady got me Stacks gf pancakes with coconut syrup (so so good) and then the girls picked me up to go to the Irvine Spectrum to shop a little. I was over it pretty soon after we got there-- it was crowded, rainy and just too much going on. We met back with the rest of the family (the guys) for lunch at Romanos.
After we went for a walk around a park, almost went to a movie but then went to the Rip Curl Warehouse sale my brother was working at and Brady bought me a new wardrobe. He felt bad that my birthday wasn't going as well as other birthdays he has done before but I was just really glad we were alone and were spending time one-on-one. After he told me we needed to stop by Elise's house for dessert and then all of our families and a few friends were there to surprise me. It was really sweet. It's always hard to get friends together for my birthday because it's always after Thanksgiving and right before Christmas craziness so I'm use to not having friends on my actual birthday. It was my golden birthday so Elise went all out with the homemade photoboth, the golden food, decor etc. Everyone went around the room and said something sweet about me. It was really nice of everyone.
My childhood friend Lisa made this little thing for me.
