We got our Christmas tree on Monday. I think we got it in record time since the temperature was something like 21 degrees. It was so cold, and that was around 2 in the afternoon! I have most of my shopping done, except sometimes extended family can be the hardest to shop for!
Something fun, I went with my cousin this afternoon to the Scholastic books warehouse and volunteered there and got credit $10 for every hour I helped out there. So we helped for 4 hours then went shopping and I got some great things there! The lady was ringing things up and my total was almost $100, but after my work credit and the discounts she gave me (like just throwing things in my box, "I'll just give you that") I spent $23 of my own money. The $100 total was after the books were already marked down 25-80% off too! Smoking deals! I would love to go back and help again before the sale ends next weekend but who knows what time will be like. Plus, the only way you can get in there is if you're a teacher or a volunteer. Thanks Merilee for taking me with you!!
We are down to 1 car right now as Ryan's truck is having problems. We barely made it home the other day with our Christmas tree!!
I love this time of year too! Maggie looks so cute and Dominick looks so happy, great picture! I hope Ryan's truck gets fixed quick, it's hard to have one vehicle.
