Post Thanksgiving Post
So how was everyone’s Thanksgiving? Our’s blew by. We went to Aunt Kathy’s for lunch. It really almost didn’t feel Thanksgiving(ish). As usual, we turned on Christmas music for the first time and it just didn’t have that great feeling that it usually brings. Both Paul and I were on edge for some reason.
Yesterday, we had one of our neighbors, Tiffany, come over and stay with the kids while we went out and faced the masses. Kohls had some great sales. They always do though. I got a Presto Griddle for $19 with a $10 mail in rebate. We bought a few other really nice odds and ends. Our total came to $59 dollars, and I had a $5 coupon (from signing up to be on their email list), which brought it down to $54 AND then they gave us a $10 coupon for the next time we shop;) We did very well there. But Best Buy, I don’t think we got off any cheaper than we would have any other day—and that’s where we dropped the most money. We were dreading Wal Mart after reading the news about one of the employees getting trampled, but I have to say, it really was not that bad. Their bathrooms were clean, no one was fighting over parking spots, people smiled AND the lines went super fast. I think Paul is looking to get into the Christmas spirit as well:) For the first time, we are actually putting up Christmas decorations outside;) I should say HE is putting up Christmas decorations outside:) The kids are super excited:) I think it’s just what we need to get ourselves kick started:) Last night we watched Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Tonight we’ll watch another Christmas special. I think I may have to try out my new griddle. I used to have a griddle, and I have no idea where it went. Paul said I threw it away. I must have because I can’t find it. We have a pancake breakfast coming up at school and I need it for that as well as I just like to have one.
The other day, I told yall I was going to show yall the video of Sarah at her Nutcracker rehearsal. Well I’m posting it here today:) She had so much fun doing that.
Well, I am leaving yall with some recipes. I hope yall enjoy them:)
take care,
