Thanksgiving began at the Tyson home as usual except for the fact that I had an awful cold. We got up casually, daddy lit a fire and we continued our family tradition. We gather and read verses from the Bible that remind us what to be thankful for. We each make a list of the things we are thankful for and share it with each other. This year we had a prayer time where each of us thanked the Lord for our blessings and prayed for those in our family that were in need.
To eat we all went to Hilliard to the Villareals house. There were many people there. We ate and fellowshipped and ate again. There was also a softball game, which I refrained from joining. I have had too many injuries.
We came home around 6:30. Jimmy had to go to work the next morning and Briana had plans for the rest of us. 11pm we headed down to St. Augustine. The outlets opened at midnight and we were going to be there. Two miles from 16, we came to a dead stop in the right hand lane. We didn't exit the highway for 45 more minutes. It was another 45 minutes until we were in the parking lot. I didn't realize how angry I would get at all the people that cheated and didn't wait. I am surprised I wasn't shot. The girls were excited about the bargains they got, especially at J Crew, me I was still mad. We left the Outlets at 3 am and made our way to the Avenues. From there we went to Target, then the Orange Park Mall. We got back home at 12 pm. I think I am nearly done with my shopping, if I can only recover from the lack of sleep. I still have the cold, but I am watching season 6 of 24 so I can see the season 7 movie that my brother in law saved for me on his big new television system.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
