Black Friday

While many crazy people fought crowds at the stores not realizing that most of them are open every day out of the year we began our Christmas traditions with a trip to the Tree Farm where we picked out the perfect tree. While we were there we were able to see Santa and give him our wish list!! While we were out and about we went ahead and raided my parents Christmas decor (sorry mom- that is what you get for being away for the holidays) and began decorating as soon as we got home. The tree found a home in the kitchen where a table is yet to go- perfect I guess since you now can see the tree from the family room or the kitchen- make sure we get the money and joy out of the tree while it is up :) The village was next to find a home. After decorating the big kids went out to ride their bikes and Brady helped rake the leaves. Later Brielle and I headed to Sikeston for Shelby's beauty party where they had a chance to have big girls fix their hair, paint their nails and have a pedicure- oh my is she only 7 :) While driving to Sikeston I asked Brielle if she missed the drive back and forth to Cape- she said yes- I was surprised. She also expressed missing her house in Sikeston. Well it wasn't 5 minutes later and Brielle asked if we were almost to Sikeston and how much longer would it be- hmmm?? Brielle do you really miss this drive- instant response- NO! (lol)
