One of my favorite assignments of the year because I get to spend the day with J & J (Joanna and Jonathan) and we got to eat chicken fried steak and PIE! That's Ann Williams shooting a pic. 
Wu Shock has been named the eighth creepiest mascot in the country. At least, he's not this thing.
Randy shows off his bow tie at the transformed Garage MaHall. It's a garage by day and a fancy dining establishment by night (well, one evening a year).
After I finished covering Black Friday I couldn't go back to sleep. So, at 5 p.m. I headed out to Target to see what I could find. I spent a whopping six dollars - $1.50 on the Diet A&W Root Beer that I drank while shopping (Denise hates it when I do that), $2.50 on rubber kitchen gloves to keep my fabulous nails looking fantastic, and $2 on two sets of Smurfs pins I found in the Dollar Bin. 
My day began at 2 a.m. covering the annual shopping tradition. It wasn't all bad. I got to hear "The Final Countdown" and that's one of my favorites.
Carter's sisters gets picked up by her two youngest sons. She has four boys who are all much bigger than her. She and her husband hosted Thanksgiving and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that there were two pies for every guest. Seriously. It was out of control.
It looks like a stuffed and mounted dog, but it's actually a curious dog trying to get through the cat door.
Lexi and I "surprised" Denise with a chocolate birthday cake we made together. I say "surprised" because, well, it's hard to make plans with a 4-year-old without telling the 4-year-old's mommy.
