We had a great time having the Smith Thanksgiving at our house this year.Charlie and I talked about what all we are thankful for. We are very blessed to have wonderful families, friends, great jobs, and our relationships with the Lord. On Thursday, we had fun visiting with our family and eating some good food. After eating Mom and I decorated the house for Christmas. We did our annual trip to the movies on Thanksgiving night. We all went to see The Blind Side. If you haven't seen it, go see it. It is an awesome movie. Mom, Dad and Andy spent the night with us on Thanksgiving. We had been discussing it all week and we had our alarms set for Black Friday. Mom, Charlie and I ventured out at 4:00 am to Wal-Mart. Andy and Dad sold out on us. We made it to W-Mart and got some great bargains. Mom was lucky enough to get the last flat screen TV. We spent the morning at 2 Wal-Marts, Home Depot and Lowe's. Black Friday was a success for us.
This week we have gotten a lot accomplished. Our Christmas decorations are up, Christmas cards will be mailed this week, and we have 2 people left to buy on our Christmas list. We have enjoyed our Thanksgiving break but it's back to reality on Monday. We have 3 weeks until Christmas Break. We will be counting down the days!!

We Are Ready for a Break
Finally, we are getting closer to Thanksgiving Break. We have been busy at school and had some long weeks. We have one more week of work then we are off work a week. We've had a busy past two weeks.
I had my tee-shirt party and there was a great turnout. We had company from Jackson, Medina, Brownsville, Memphis, and of course Munford. There were between 45-50 people that came! Needless to say, we had a full house! It was great to see everyone and for everyone to finally get to see our house.
This past week we also got to see two of my aunts and uncle from Knoxville. They drove down last Tuesday night for dinner with mom and to see our house. We enjoyed spending time with them, its been way to long. The other nights last week we spent at the ball park cheering on Charlie's ball team. He's doing pretty good if I say so myself. He is averaging 2 homeruns per game.
On Friday we will be packing up and heading to Knoxville to cheer on the Vols!! I can't wait to sing some Rocky Top. Charlie has never been to a UT game at Neyland so I'm pretty excited to take him. We are going with my mom, dad, and Andy. We will spend the weekend in Knoxville and on Sunday we will be making a stop at Opryland Hotel to see the Christmas lights. This is my favorite time of the year. I know some of you are wondering is the tree up? Yes we do have one tree up but the rest of the decorations and our main tree will be up on Thanksgiving night. We have several plans during our Thanksgiving break to visit family, Christmas shopping and enjoying the week off. Pictures and updates to come.
Have a great week!!!!
