I had decided that I wanted to have the experience of shopping on Black Friday at 5:00am with all of the other ‘bargain shoppers’ out there, so off I went. I was going to start at Target, but it was obvious that I wasn’t even going to be physically able to get to Target, so I crossed that one off my list. Next on my list was the local mall. There I got a parking spot right next to the door, picked out some items, and checked out quickly. It was 5:30am by now so I stopped for breakfast, and amused myself by listening to the stories about the brawls that broke out across the street at Walmart. I was feeling pretty confident by now so I decided to attempt a stop at Kohl’s. Found some things I absolutely had to have, so I stood in the check-out line for 35 minutes. All in all a good day, and by 7:30am I was home and ready to start the rest of my day.
We spent the rest of the day decorating the house and getting it ready to welcome some of you in a few weeks. Today we attended the Mannheim Steamroller concert and the two activities have put us in the Christmas spirit.
While we were in Iowa we helped Stephanie and Caitlin decorate their Christmas tree. Caitlin did a great job of distributing the ornaments evenly around the tree. She is just a little short to reach the top. We’ll be able to gauge her height each year by how far up she can decorate the tree.
Enjoy the Holiday Season.
Love to All,
Connie

Vicki, Don and I joined the Black Friday but we didn't join in the frenzy until around 9:30. Got some good stuff at JCPenney and Kohls. Then we came home and packed up the cookies and treats for some holiday cheer to send off to Eric and his troops. We then went to the post office. May decorate the tree and outside tomorrow. Love to all.
