Day 1 of Thanksgiving Break

First, I have to say that yesterday started off with a beautiful sunrise.

It made the last day of school for 9 days pretty awesome! We got out about 1 hour earlier than usual which started of Thanksgiving Break with a great feeling. 

This morning I got up and went shopping with my parents. Not before I froze some left over yogurt into ice tray for smoothies.

I also froze some banana chunks before they got too ripe to save. These will also go into smoothies!

The first place me and my parents shopped was a small town store called Hammer's. I was able to pick up a few Christmas gifts. Then we travel for about 45 minutes to go to Unclaimed Baggage which is like a thrift store. It was a little pricey for me even though I love thrift stores. The last store took us almost another hour to get too. We saw a Cabela's which is an outdoor, fishing, and hunting type of a store. They have a variety of different clothing items and shoes as well.

{I really wanted this Christmas shirt but I didn't get it!}

My brother is a huge outdoors man. Mom and dad was looking for a specific knife that he had asked for. They did manage to find a gift or two for his son.

We got back on the road to head to Dirt Cheap. It is a store that you literally have to dig through everything to find something. Always a hit or miss with me. Today I did manage to find a Christmas banner to hang over my {gas log} fireplace mantle for a little over one dollar.  For another $1.20, I found a vinyl Thanksgiving tablecloth that was really cute with a pumpkin pie recipe on it.  For just over $4, I found a bathroom rug to go in the master bath.

Now I am really tired after shopping all day but I sure did enjoy being out in the sunshine. It was out for the 2nd day in a row!  Sadly, I think the first of the week will be dreary and cold again. Hopefully, I will be able to get out and trim my shrubs down for the winter during this time off.

Alright, stayed turned for Day 2 of Thanksgiving break!
