Christmas shopping started

Tonight, Tom and I started our Christmas shopping. I'm trying to get most of it done before I leave for California, because I know once I get back on the 4th, Christmas will be right around the corner and we will have to put up the tree and everything, unless we do it before I go. We actually thought about doing it tonight, but I think it's too early, maybe next weekend! Normally we would do it Thanksgiving weekend, but I'll be in CA. Maybe Tom and the kids can set it up! LOL

So we started our night off by taking Brandon to his cousin's house where he's spending the night, of course we didn't bring the bowling balls because that would have been too convenient, instead we had to come home and take them down to his Grandma and Grandpa's for Micayla to take with her tomorrow morning. She's going there after work since she can't drive past 10:00 at night. So after we dropped Brandon off we went to Kohl's, we had 30% off so we got lots of Christmas shopping done. Believe it or not, I don't think we bought anything for us. I'm so proud of myself, normally when I go out "Christmas" shopping I always find way too much that I want. But tonight it was all about the kids, we got Micayla and Brandon just about done and we got my mother-in-law done, but since I know she reads this I can't say. Sorry Linda, but I think you're going to like it! At least we hope.

After Kohl's we went to Old Navy where we had a 30% off as well, Friends and Family thing that I printed off the internet. We didn't find much, Tom got a couple of T-shirts and that's about it. I'm not too impressed with that store like I used to be. After that we walked through Bed Bath and Beyond and came out empty handed. I guess there was only one thing on our minds and that was Christmas shopping and since we didn't find anything we didn't buy.

Once we got done there, we headed for supper. We chose The Mining Company, it was so good, sorry Steph.. we started out with cheese balls, then I had a mushroom swiss burger and Tom had the International burger. All was great as always. We putzed through the mall and walked through the new Dick's store, again we didn't get anything, we walked through JcPenney's to look for something for Leah and I found the perfect outfit but they didn't have her size :( so now I'm off searching for it online.

Tomorrow morning, Kristi is picking me up at 9:30 to go to the big craft fair down at the Grand Harbor then to the Moose for prime rib!
