Christmas Season Begins!!

Yesterday we had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Dan's parents. The boys then got to stay at grandpa and grandma's with other cousins for a sleepover so their parents could officially kick of the Christmas Season at 5am this morning. Since Dan had to work yesterday we decided to hit the "big" sales. I have NEVER gotten up early before for "Black Friday". We didn't have any targeted items or mission we were on, but just figured we would check out. In a semi-conscious state we did this until about 7:40 am and then got coffee. As the caffeine kicked in we gained the state of consciousness we should have had at 5, we hit our second group of stores. Keeping in mind that we really didn't havea goal and that I "sale" shop year round, we only made 1 purchase!! A bottle of antifreeze!! Now how exciting is that?

This afternoon Dan got the Christmas lights on the house going and as if Elton knew what we were kicking off, he picked "Polar Express" to watch. This was Caleb's favorite Christmas movie last year. Dan is bringing the Christmas tree up right now and we are preparing to decorate as Caleb just got up from his nap!!
