Thanksgiving and Carter's Baptism

It was a wonderful and busy Thanksgiving weekend. My parents and sister arrived on Wednesday night for Thanksgiving. It was a late night, as they just had to get Carter up after they got here. My dad claims that he was awake at 12:30 but I'm not so sure. Thursday we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. I cooked my first turkey and have to brag and say it was one of the juiciest that I have ever had. My sister made some excellent side dishes and my mom cooked 4 pies! We have a picture of that below because it looked cool spread out on the table.
On Thursday night I gave my mom and sister there first Black Friday Shopping adventure. I normally go with my mother-in-law, so I am experienced. The outlet malls opened at 10:00 and we shopped until about 2 a.m. It was really fun and we got some great deals at the Columbia store. As an example I got a 75 dollar jacket for 16 dollars!
Friday was my sisters 24th Birthday. This was the first year that I've gotten to celebrate with here since being married! Congratulations Heidi! Also on Friday my bother-in-law and future sister-in-law came down to visit and participate in Saturday's events... Carter's baptism!
Heidi (my sister) and Matt (Tom's brother) are Carter god parents! My in-laws also came down to celebrate Carter's first sacrament. On Sunday everyone left except for my in-laws who are staying until Monday. Tom and I were able to enjoy a nice dinner out by ourselves tonight which was a nice change of pace.
Below are some pictures from the holiday weekend!
