Thanksgiving, Black Friday & Stuff!

I've just had my first ever Thanksgiving and it was nothing less than amazing :) There was ALOT of food! Like, this huge table was filles with food!! And then when we were done with the entrees, the desserts came, and once again the huge table was filled with pies and you name it!

We spent thanksgiving at grandma and grandpa Johnson's house at we had the Harbaughs there with grandma Jean Ann, and Mr Coreys brother Brad and his wife and little girl Dorothy. :) Later on Aunt Holly came too and brought the kids, so we all went up to the school and shot some baskets for about an hour, we had tons of fun :)

The day after thanksgiving is this huge shopping day here in america and all of the stores open at like 4 am! Kristine, you would love this! So we got up at like 5 and went off to Kalamazoo for our big shopping day! We hit some stores and then went off to the Mall :) It was so much fun even though I was out of it cause I was sooooo tired! And me and Amy had the most hilarious and weird episode at target..

It was towards the end of the day and we were both soo tired and just about done with everything, we just wanted to check out and head back home when I asked Amy to help me find some Christmas candy to send back home to my parents. She said sure and we headed for the Candy Isle..

So I picked up a bag of nuts and here is how it goes..

Jane: Nuts! thats perfect, my mom and dad loves nuts!
Amy:ok.
Then we moved from one side of the isle to the other and amy picks up a tin can of nuts.
Amy: Here, send them this. This is perfect
Jane:Noo, why the heck would I send them a pound of nuts!? They have nuts in Norway!!
And then Amy gives me this look, like I was a dork.

It probably does not sound as funny written here, and we didnt think it was funny at all right there, but we were cracking up in the car, I think you had to be there to think its funny, cause the guys thought we had been smoking something funny once we got home..


Yesterday we had Grandpa Walt's Service and it went by really quick..
And then we went out to eat all together for Grandma Carol and Aunt Sue's Birthday..
That was about it I think..

Cheering! Football!

Football season has come and gone and I miss it alot! Friday's just arent the same! We had alot of fun during football! And since we dont have football in Norway I got to see football for the first time and it was pretty sweet! But now basketball has started and I am loving it so far, Ive had one week of practice and its alot of fun :) Im on the JV team but we have a lot of fun together.

We've been to Cedar Point too, and that was pretty sweet, we were there during Halloweekend. It was us( Johnsons) and the Harbaughs :) We had tons of fun together! I didnt ride all the rides but I did some, I was too chicken for the big one that lasts like 20 sec.
