Hello all! Checking in! LOL!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My mom, dad, brother, and MIL came for dinner. After they left in the evening we played a family game, RISK, and I won! WOOT!
This morning my mom and I got up early to go shopping. I went out to get a meat grinder that was on sale. When I went to pay my mom paid for it and said it was our Christmas present! Now I just need a for a couple of people to get us some deer.
Then we went to a couple other stores for my mom. Then we went to Once Upon a Child. I was able to get 12 outfits for the baby and it cost me $5.68! The total was $35.68...then I got a $10 gift card with a $20 purchase and then my mom gave me $20 toward the purchase of the clothes as the baby's Christmas present!
Then I came home and took a nap! LOL! Then the family and I played a game of Monopoly. I can tell you how to make a game of Monopoly last FOREVER!! Play with 7 people and make sure one of them is 4 years old and one is 7 years old! We ended up just putting a time limit on it.
Now we are just finishing up watching Miracle on 34th Street!
Tomorrow Dh and the boys are going to the church to help decorate for Christmas and my mom and the girls and I are going to a craft show.
We decorated the house for Christmas yesterday and put up our tree today. DH was very proud that it got up so soon. Last year we did not get the tree up until like 3 days before Christmas.
I am also in the process of making an Elderberry elixir. A lady from church gave me a 2 gallon bag of elderberries. Hopefully it will help keep any sickness at bay.
I don't think I mentioned...my MIL took my 12 yo on Monday and got him his Christmas presents. She got him two pairs of Sketchers. One he can wear for soccer and a pair for church and Rangers. She also got him a nice leather belt and a new dress watch.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
