Christmas has arrived!

Happy Black Friday everyone! Hope you all got some good shopping in...I know we did! We were out of the house at 8:30. We had breakfast at Chick-Fil-A, went to Target, and then hit the mall. Bath & Body Works had the longest line, but I was willing to wait. They have the best sales on the day after Thanksgiving. I stock up for the year on air fresheners for my classroom & their fancy soap. While I was waiting in the 20 minute line, I was suckered in to buying stuff I didn't need. Robert had taken Addison outside & I was weak & succeptible to salesperson pressure in his absence. We'll be going back tomorrow to return a few items. :-)
Overall, it was a pretty quick trip, but productive. We have almost all of our Christmas shopping done now! Whoo hoo!

Thanksgiving was excellent. We had lots of delicious food...including some new things. Robert ate sweet potatoes at each meal (we eat twice - lunch with Robert's family, and then with mine for dinner). I tried sweet potatoes, too, but I didn't like them as much as Robert did. Addison tried stuffing (not a fan), sweet potatoes (not a fan), corn casserole (loved it), and cranberry sauce (not a fan). We missed our Uncle Bubbles & Aunt Evelyn, but I'm sure they had a great day with Evelyn's family in Margate. All in all, it was a very happy day with our families.

We're going to eat some yummy Thanksgiving leftovers (thanks Mom!) for lunch, and then will continue decorating the rest of the house. Robert has lucked out big time today: it's raining, so he can't be forced outside to do outdoor decorating. Not to worry - I plan to get him outside as soon as the rain slacks up. Maybe tomorrow morning. His time will come.

Here's some funny for your day: Addison's reaction to our Christmas tree & some musical decorations. We put the tree up while she was sleeping last night. Sorry the video is so dark. We had the lights off so that she could really get a feel for the Christmas lights on the tree.
