how lovely are thy branches. We don't have a tree this year, but you can bet that next year we will have one. We've both been busy with work and the house is still a mess from when we brought stuff home from Tony's uncles house in March or April. I know, I know...
Tony and I spent the past two days Christmas shopping. Oh my gosh did we have a lot to do, we hadn't done much up until this point. But, oh my goodness did we ever get a lot done. I am feeling better about the progress we've made this weekend. I was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed with all that was left to be done. So, we just have about 4 or 5 more presents to get and I'll be getting those when I have off on Tuesday. Now if I could just decide what I want to get. That's the really hard part.
Friday evening we went to Paesano's for my sister Patricia's birthday, we had a good time. Happy Birthday Patricia! I was sad that I left my camera at home so I don't have a picture to post. I set it right next to my purse too! "How is that possible," you ask. Puh-lease, if you know me, you know that I miss things that are right in front of my face all the time. Anyway, Tony, Kendall and I gave Patricia and purse and a new sweater. I thought they were cute. I hope she liked them, she says she does, so that is good!
My mom was nice enough to watch K for us overnight so we got to sleep in a little on Saturday morning. She was keeping her so that Tony and I could get some shopping done. THANK YOU!!! We really got a lot done yesterday. We went all over the place. Hallmark, Tuesday Morning, GameStop, Costco, The Quarry and North Star Mall... Now, anyone who lives in SA knows it is not fun to go to North Star Mall on a Saturday, let alone the Saturday before Christmas. I think some would say we need to be institutionalized just for considering attempting it. While it was VERY crowded and crazy there, we did make it out alive. Phew!!! We went and picked up the baby at my mom's at about 7:30 and came right home and crashed on the couch while watching a movie. We were so tired from our shopping adventures.
This morning we woke up, got ready and went out again. Though I do admit we didn't make it out until about 1:30 due to Kendall getting grouchy at 9:45 and taking a nap until 12:40. We watched another movie this morning and rested up for the adventure we knew we would be having later in the day. :-) So, we finally made it out of the house and went to the new Target at Stone Oak and 281. It is so big and it was pretty crowded, but it worked out great for us. We got all of the presents for Kendall's classmates and teachers and several of our family and friends. So, thank you Target!!! We were there until about 4:45. We decided that we would act like old people and eat dinner at 4:30. ha ha... We wanted to do that so that we could go eat at the restaurant that is over near Target. It is called BJ's, it is where we went for my birthday. I had roast chicken with a baked potato. I brought over half of it home, they give you a ton of food there. Yeah for me, I have lunch or dinner for tomorrow. Yummy!!! Are you done making fun of us for eating so early yet? The laugh may be on you because we didn't have to wait for a seat for dinner.
Well, I guess I better go for now. I forgot I need to label the presents for K's classmates and teachers. Aaaarrrrgghhh!!! ha ha...
Have a great Christmas if I don't blog again before then!
