Thanksgiving always proves to be an adventure and this year was no exception. As always, I have too much fun with everyone and I don't take enough pictures to document our holiday! So what follows is the best I got.
The night before we got to celebrate my Mom's birthday! Mom and Dad brought some yummy barbecue from home for dinner and we had some cupcakes for the Birthday Girl. Morgan was not about to let a birthday pass without blowing out some candles! We got a little smarter this year and started cooking some things on Wednesday...which turned out to be a lifesaver!
Thanksgiving came around and we continued our traditions of a large breakfast and the parade! We got the turkey in the oven, knowing that it would take a few hours to fully cook. As we were waiting, Sissy noticed that the oven was on fire! The element in my oven broke...right in the middle of cooking my turkey! After a small freak out on my part, I called my friend Brandi to see what they were doing. She was out of town which left her oven free and clear for us to take over. And thank goodness they were so kind to help us out! So we loaded a half-cooked turkey in the trunk and drove the few blocks to the Shafer home. After a few more hours of turkey and casseroles being cooked, we finally set down to eat- just a little later than we planned. Thank goodness for the Shafers- they truly saved our Thanksgiving!
As usual, we Radke ladies planned our attack on Black Friday. But this year was different since all the stores opened at midnight! So we just powered through and stayed up. Mom, Carrie and I hit the mall and walked into the madness. We are seasoned veterans of Black Friday, but what we saw was unreal. But once again we conquered and came away with some great deals!

Blowing out the candles! Look close, Morgan likes to use the wet approach to put out the flames!
Morgan made us all lie down in her room to "go to sleep!"
How do you get a 3 year old to sit still and get a french braid? With an iPad of course!
