I love Black Friday! No joke! I love to find the deals and I love to see what I can find! I was able to get pretty much all of my Christmas shopping done this year which is good since it seems I have no extra time! I did two major shopping trips this year. One in the middle of the night and a second one (with Caden) at 9am. We didn't score the $150 tablet like my sister did, but we did pretty well. We also just made a cyber monday purchase on Sunday night, so we are getting deals all over the place.
One thing I have noticed this year is it seems everyone wants to get in the Christmas spirit early. I see a lot more people decorating this year, and the lights are going up on a lot of houses. Even our neighbor Griffin put up Christmas lights. We got our tree this weekend and it is a very fat tree. It is taking up about 1/3 of our family room. I am sure I will post a picture soon, but it is a funny fat tree. We decorated our house for Christmas today. We got out the decorations and went to town. Caden was so excited and running around the house "helping." The other thing we were able to do was fix some decorations. We bought stocking hangers 2 years ago that you can put pictures in. Well, they still say photo here... so we added our photos this year.
Tomorrow night is our office Christmas dinner. It is not even December yet! I guess that is one of the many reasons why christmas is moving quick this year, we are doing things earlier this year.
We also have not gotten hit with the snow yet. Last year at the end of November we had a ton of snow! Not this year! So far, minimal snow, and none has stayed! I am sure I will pay for that, but excited for now!
Caden helped me wrap some of the presents on Saturday night. As soon as we finished he asked if Dad could open his presents in the morning. I told him he would have to wait until Christmas. He asked me to show him on the calendar when that would be. You know it's a long ways away when you have to turn the page...
