BLACK FRIDAY!!!

You know when you have the best husband in the world, when he will tackle crazed shoppers on Black Friday!!... Mom and Coley decided to stay behind and watch taylor, i guess they weren't feelin the shopping in them. And my dad just hung out around town, and the house... So Brian and I got up super early in the morning.. bout 5am or so... we weren't too crazy bout 4am... We threw ourselves together, and headed out the door, it was freazin ass cold out there, thats for sure. So our first stop was Walmart!!.. We did a number there... we got lots of xmas gifts for taylor, and xmas decorations for our house. we were on a mission that day to get a tree and decorations for the inside and the outside of our house!!>.. our first xmas at home!!.. we never did a thing to our apartment in Va cuz we went to idaho for like the whole month... so this year was different. lol. We got all sorts of things... We got a killer deal on our Christmas tree, we bought stockings, ornaments, a skirt, lights...and so on and so on.

We swung in at Starbucks to get coffee for our 70 some mile trip to tricities for shoppings... good thing it was worth it!!.. We were goin to go shoppin at kohls... lol. we went inside straight back to the xmas stuff.. and I thought there was something goin on in the back of a store like a drawing or something, cuz it was packed in that lil area, until brian went to go ask someone about a certain thing, and came back and told me that was the check out line... OMFG. are you kidding me... the line went from the front of the store wrapped around to the back... I was all screw this... I don't want this stuff that bad!! good lord, by the time we got through that line, we would have missed all the sales...so moving on.

Toys r us was next on the list, we got some great stuff there for taylor for xmas!!>.. it wasn't as packed as you would expect, but the store was completely trashed stuff all over the floor, they were completely out of ps3's and had only one Wii left... complete madness... lol. when we were done there, we decided against the mall.. it was a freakin circus, i was afraid of the inside... so we were sittin in this really long line of traffic to get out of the mall... OMG... insane... and brian spots this dirt ramp up to the street... hey we are in a chevy tahoe... so he said he was goin out that way... he got out of sitting traffic... from the parkinglot... hopped the curb... (this is great)... we went 4 wheel driving through dirt..and rocks.. hahahaha.. im laughin my ass off.... and we high tale it up this some what steep dirt ramp hop another curb and get out on the main street... needless to stay we only sat in traffic for about 5 min... thats it... so worth it!!>.. so we moved on to other stores... brian was totally stoked when we were done, cuz he had gotten dear for our front yard, and 2 blow up things, along with winnie the pooh stakes that lit up in the ground... (he's a softy) he got them for taybugz... we got home, the girls did the tree,
This is our 1st tree... i love it.. i think it went together really well!!!...
Taylor is our Vanna White, modeling the tree!!...

But she is so dang cute, that she is stealing the show!!!... lol.

and my dad and brian went and worked outside in the yard... he was so happy.. and anxious!!... the dear are awesome, they are probably my fave... and one of the blow ups we got is a santa , and the other one is a snowman!!...

This is our house!!.. all decked out and festive.

santa!!!
the dear are my favorite!!, they are so cool.. they move!!! woohoo!!

Taylors winnie the pooh decorations that daddy bought for her...

Brian did a really good job!!... kudos to him!

We had so much fun shopping... but we were broke, and tired, and went home... unloaded the car in about 6 trips, showed off taylor xmas gifts while she was nappin, and now they are hiding..lol.

we had a very successful trip shopping... we got everything we needed for our tree and indoor and outside decor, and we made a huge dent in our xmas shopping!!!!.... It was nice for Brian and I to have the day to ourselves, we dont get that like EVER!!... so we really enjoyed that, i don't think we could have gotten through everything with taylor, she would have been so sick of shopping... course it doesn't help that we live 70 plus miles away from all the stores!!!>...

Great Friday!!... Plus it was coleys birthday!!... We stayed up all night, played card games, and enjoyed a few festive drinks... we had a blast, we laughed so hard, surprised we didn't wake up my dad!!..


Here is our tree all lit up!!... very pretty. good job girls!!!.. and brian of course... he helped in the end when he was done outside!!!!! Can't wait to start puttin presents under the tree!!!... woohoo!
