The past 24 hours of my life.

What has the past 24 hours of my life consisted of? I'll tell you.
1 incredibly large and delicious Thanksgiving feast
70 family members to feast with
11 hours of black Friday shopping
4 hours of sleep

Honestly, I don't remember most of the shopping hours I was so tired and out of it, but all in all it's been a prime 24 hours. What's not to love about Thanksgiving anyway? A few of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions are watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade while going through the Black Friday ads, candied yams, leftover Turkey sandwiches, and of course, BLACK FRIDAY! Yeah, I'm one of those crazy people. A few of my favorite things this year were the cookie turkeys I've been loving from Pinterest my aunt made, teaching my nephew to wink, my uncle's cobbler he made in the church parking lot, Hannah, McKenzie, and the Jones skits in the talent show, and this year was a Steel Family Reunion Thanksgiving year, hooray! I love family reunion Thanksgivings, they really make it feel like a Holiday and I just love my family. We had to have our festivities at the church because there is just way too many of us. Less than half of the family were able to make it and we had a Thanksgiving of 70!  Our talent show is always my favorite part and it was especially good this year, my 2-year-old nephew sang the Bohemian Rhapsody, so I was a happy camper. After 8 hours of cooking, prepping, setting up, feasting, and family bonding, our family packed up and headed home and my mom, sisters, and I headed out on another Black Friday adventure. 11 hours, 12 stores, and 4 hours of sleep later, here I am! Moral of the story, don't blame me if the this post makes absolutely no sense. I hope all of your Thanksgivings were as merry as mine! I'm going to get some turkey and head back to bed.



 Just kidding, it's the middle of the day and I can't sleep so I guess I'll just go shop some more. As if I haven't done enough of that in the past 24 hours. Oh! And I have oh so very much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. I truly am so blessed. I'll spare you my list and put it in my journal though.
Love and thanks!
