Grocery Extravaganza


Mom and I went on our annual grocery shopping escapade yesterday morning. About five years ago, my mom made a "master" grocery list that has ALL the foods needed to prepare Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and everything in between that we enjoy eating over the holidays. Every year, she pulls out her two-sided list, marks off all the things she already has in her pantry, and off we go :) We pretty much like to keep up with each other and do all of the shopping together, but that two-sided list makes it nice when we get tired. She takes a side, I take the other, and on our merry way we go finish the shopping. If I have never mentioned how super organized my mom is, this should give you a little taste :) Here is "the list."

After Wal Mart, we head to the car, in which she brings an ice chest so that we can put the cold items in. Then, we take a tour through Sams. We left out of there with quite a FULL buggy too! We were pretty tired when we got home, after being out shopping for 5-6 hours. We didn't let our tiredness keep us from going to Southern's last home game though. Gotta love those cold, wet, windy games :) Thank goodness we won! Kenadie did not attend the game, but had a far greater time with Aaron's parents. I asked her if she wanted to take anything to Papaw and D's house...her response, "I take Lily." :) Ha, she settled for her purple purse, stuffed turkey and of course, Dora :)

    Ya'll have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Aren't we so blessed!!!
    PS - Love the USM shirt! I wouldn't have thought of putting the 'eagles' like that - great idea!
