Mom's 50th Birthday Bash!

So I know that Brad's Mom will kill me to broadcast that she just turned 50, but...luckily I am family and that might make me exempt from true torture! On December 12, we enjoyed presents, cake, and so many candles that the fire department came to over see things! No...the house did not catch on fire. They were riding around the neighborhood as Santa and his Elves and Becky got to seat on his lap, and got them to sing to her "Happy Birthday" like Alvin and the Chipmunks! Here are some photos from Santa and the birthday bash!!! Happy Birthday Mom! We love you!

Gobble, gobble...black friday, with a Volleyball Twist!

So....Thanksgiving was a success! We got a taste of the Demars family and Brad's family. It was full of lots of food, great naps, and unfortunately work for Sharee. She said that work was great, she ate more food, and fortunately not too many sick kids to see.

While Sharee was at work...Brad, Tammy, and Kyle were collaborating together in the "war room" to check out all the Black Friday deals, steals, and bargains. After developing the ultimate game plan, Brad went to go pick up Sharee. We didn't bother going to bed and hit the stores at 3AM! Our goal for this Black Friday was to get the best deals for the cabin-remodel so...We started out with sheets, towels, and extras at Wal-mart. Then moved on to get several down comforters at Sears. We were all finished up by 6 AM with a yummy breakfast to boot! It must have been a Black Friday record!


Here's some of the loot! Guest bedroom is officially closed for business.


After our naps we got all fired up for the 2nd annual Black Volley Tournament! It is where all the families get together for pizza, drinks, and of course bump, set, and killer spikes! Here are some photos for all to enjoy!
