Day After Shopping

Today we got up and got ready and headed out for our annual day of shopping together. While getting ready for Christmas there is a lot of shopping, but today we go together which is always a lot of fun. We go to get Christmas lights, decorations, and gifts for the next Christmas.
Today we started at Chick-fil-A for breakfast/lunch. It was a lot of fun and the boys especially John Michael enjoy it because they can eat and play.
Then we headed to Game Stop, where I was going to exchange John Michael's DS. His DS does not work and since I get the extended protection I was thinking even exchange. What I was not thinking was that there would not be any regular DSs so he ended up with a 3D DS. To say he was excited would be an understatement, he was thrilled and that makes me happy. Danny even gave him a game that he got 2 of so I bought Danny a new game, he picked NASCAR 3D.
I got several new K-Cups for my Kureg, which I cannot wait to try. I love this Christmas gift, it is perfect for me for so many reasons!
We did not find any lights, which was a disappointment. Well, we did not find the lights that we were looking for. I guess I will be watching next year for good deals. I am going to check online, but it seems that many places put their lights up for sale next year. We did get some cute things for the house though, which I cannot wait to get out. We also got a shelving unit for the office, so that I will have somewhere for props. I am pretty excited about that, especially since it was $50, and the cheapest that we have found it so far was $85. YAY for savings!
We also got a great start on gifts for 2012 Christmas, which is always a great feeling. I love progress and when I start making it this early I know that the blessings to come will be amazing.
Well, we had a wonderful day and I hated to see it come to an end. We did end it by going to Mount Laurel to see the lights in the town square that we had been photographing during the day for a month. It was great to see it at night, and it was gorgeous!
