Is it Christmas Yet?
12/6/2010
Hello Everyone ;)
I finally got the Christmas tree up at my house with the help of my mother and Travis. Then my mom got in the spirit and decorated the rest of the house. Her favorite decoration is this snowman toilet paper holder that looks like he was made from the "yellow snow" but it is super cute. Our Christmas tree is not one that you would see in any type of Susie home maker magazine, it is covered in little ornaments from my childhood, along with my brother and our two poodles. We even put up stockings for our little poodles :) I made Travis a stocking, im not sure if he likes it or not.
Black Friday-- How was that? My shopping schedule started at 11:30 on Thursday night all the way to 8:30 Friday morning and then I went home for a nap and started back again around 2 in the afternoon. But I got a lot of deals and spent more money than I had wanted too. The good news was I didnt stand in line for longer than 30min anywhere. Victoria Secrets had the longest line by far. This is the 1st time in 7 years that I have even gone Black Friday shopping in Indiana. I am usually at my dads down south where the shopping is SOOOOO much better!! Next year I cant wait to be back down there but it was nice to have a break.
What else happened this week you ask? Well as you know I am a dance teacher, we had our Christmas recital over the weekend in Anderson and it went perfect!!! If you want to see a clip from the show, you can go to my Facebook page :) I tried to upload it on here but I couldnt figure it out.
I got a new phone (DroidX) and ever since I got this stupid phone I can not upload videos or pictures as easily as I could with my storm. But I am trying to figure things out so you can see all of the crazy pictures and videos that I take. For example . . . this is my best friend Whitney, she is working on a $150 six foot ferris wheel. The wheels actually turn with a motor! But I know that I would have spent $150 on some uggs instead. She didnt really care since she bought it on her moms credit card and her mom still doesnt know :)
PRESENTS PRESENTS PRESENTS!!!!! I already have all of my Christmas shopping done and the presents wrapped under the tree! I love Christmas more than my birthday and any other holiday combined. I want to hear some of the gifts you purchased for your friends and family??? Or do you just do gift cards? Those are tricky because they are not very personal but yet sometimes they are the best option. I mean shoot dont get me wrong I will gladly accept one :) Overall the best part of the holidays is getting a break from school and spending time with the ones you love!
Love always
