Black Friday 2007




Okay so for those of you who don't know already, my family is filled with Black Friday addicts. We are of the crazy masses who sleep at the storefronts to get a good deal.This year we actually declared Thanksgiving to move from Thursday to Friday.We owe the majority of this years preparatory research to Jake. Hate to say it but we do. We landed first position in line at Best Buy when Jake got there @9:30 pm Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Eric and I joined him early the next day. Everyone joined soon after. It was fun we had it all set up chairs ,table, air mattresses and all. We all had lunch there, and a great spaghetti dinner as well.The kids ran around and played and after hot chocolate they all went home to bed.Jake,Terry (this was his first time!) Andrew and I stayed the night. The line wrapped around the entire shopping center, and our position was envied as the night grew on and peoplegot anxious. At 5am they opened the doors,we rushed in cheering and scored our new laptops, computers,cameras,gps systems,and special orders from santa.It was another successful year.




We kicked off Thanksgiving week with the chance to celebrate all the Johnson cousins' birthdays.Alice threw a fun party at her inlaws the Lynch's in Queen Creek. The kids played in the beachfronet to the lake, while Stephen Danny and Andrew got their first taste of wakeboardng. Andrew got up pretty quick, and I am sure will be out to do it again as soon as the weather warms up. It was so fun to have all the kids together for the first time. Hope it's not too long until we can do it again.

Ethan had a blast at his first birthday party! Thanks to all those who cam and celebrated with us. We hope evryone had as much fun as we did.
Ethan got a waterbottle bath after the destruction of his cake.
Elizabeth was excited to give Ethan his present. She was very excited her brother was turning one. She even had some friends make him cards for his birthday during writing time at school on Friday and brought them to the party. What a good sissy!
We waited until after we came home and got a nap in to open presents.Ethan enjoyed them all but after opening his drum he partied like a rockstar!!!
