Hooray!!

Josh and I bought our tree! We've got it all decorated and it looks fabulous! I am so excited for Christmas, I know we won't be doing a whole lot (aside from a quick trip to Wisconsin) and we won't be spend a whole lot (because we already have), but I am still really excited.

My mom came out for Thanksgiving, she had a really good time, and apparently really loves Randy's (Petersen) stuffing! She said she was just craving it like crazy when she got back home! We went shopping Thanksgiving night with Leslie and Sheila at Micheals. We got some pretty good deals! Then we went shopping bright and early Friday morning. Oh how crazy it was! Mom and I went to the Wal-mart on 11400 South around 3:30 AM (sale started at 5:00), they let you go in the store, but everything that is on sale is on pallets covered in dark wrapping. Holy cow it was so insane! We got everything we wanted (and then some). We had planned to meet up with Sheila and Jill, but it was so crazy that we saw them for a few minutes and that's it. Luckily we were able to get to the front of the store really quick, so we checked out in now time. There wasn't anything else we wanted to get, so we went home planning on getting some sleep. Well, it worked out for mom, but Josh wasnted to go to RC Willey to get an iPod. Well, we got there around 6:30, doors opened at 8:00. There were supposedly 45 iPods per store, so Josh had to run. There were two doors to theis RC Willey, so there was a HUGE line at the one door, but apparently not many people knew about the other door, so we were right at the front of the line. Long story shorter, Josh ran in and we right near the front of the line, and he got an iPod :)

I want to say on a side note, that the families of the three that lost their lives Friday (at the Walmart in Long Island and the two in the So Cal Toys 'R' Us) are in our prayers. I can't beleive some people will take things to that extreme. This doesn't mean that the stores are even, but hopefully this will help in the future, so that people will be more aware of their actions on "Black Friday".

Friday was Josh's birthday, so we went out to dinner. Then Saturday we also went out to dinner and had a FABULOUS meal from the wonderful Tucano's. Yea :)
