Ginny the Genesis (+ Black Friday Fun!)

 Meet Ginny the Genesis, my beautiful new car! ❤

Dad and I went to pick it up at the dealership in Edmond on Friday morning... there are so many new features and things I'm still getting used to.  The blind-spot camera when you turn on your blinker makes me pretty happy!  Here's Jace standing in that spot so I could take a picture of him. lol

I love the grill and the way this green sparkles in the sunlight!

And the exhaust pipes are cool too, although I didn't notice them until Heather and Dad both mentioned it! lol  (I was much more focused on loving the name Genesis, a Biblical word that signals new beginnings!!  Yes, please! lol)

Here's the Miss K checking out the driver's seat!  The textured leather seats are also really nice... and something Mom, Chet, Rachael, and Kristin all noticed and appreciated earlier than I did. lol  Anyway, I really love it all, and I'm having fun learning more about it as I go, and I'm super thankful for this Black Friday gift!!

My plan to go see the best girlfranz got pushed back, so I actually went to see a movie by myself, which was my first time driving my car... that feels appropriate!  (*I saw King Richard, if you were wondering, and I found the story of young Venus and Serena very impressive... and thought it was a little irritating that they didn't name the movie after them.  Even though he had big dreams for them and "predicted" their success, they had to work HARD for it, and while he deserves some praise, I didn't love the level of credit they were placing on their dad for all of their accomplishments in life.)

I went to Target to grab more whipped cream for us.  Then I came home in time for a lovely taco salad dinner with the fam + Charlene and Heather!  Here's Jace getting the extra whipped cream ready. lol

And the mini Miss K helping with cutting the lettuce and the Velveeta for the queso dip!

I hope she was being very careful with her tiny precious fingers! =)

I didn't take any pics the rest of the night, but our dinner was tasty, then everyone came out to look at my new car (the ambient lighting is much cooler at night!), then we had dessert!  Jace turned on The Three Stooges and laughed it up with Mom and Dad and Charlene!  Me and Heather and Rach had a lot of fun playing Heads Up with Kyndal and T-man!!  Heather was an expert on the Disney round, the kids loved the Act It Out deck, and Rach and I aced a couple rounds of Friends trivia!  After the Parrish fam left, we had a good talk with Heather and Charlene catching up on life and filling them in on the latest news.  A fun Black Friday all around!
