Yes...We are Crazy!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Charlie's parents and my parents had lunch at our house. It is not often that we all have a chance to get together. This was also my first time having Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Micah's enjoyed having both sets of grandparents to entertain him. I guess he probably thought that everyone was there to see him.

After getting my lunch prepared, I spent a good bit of time looking at the sales papers for the "After Thanksgiving Sales." I had to make my Christmas list and see what stores to hit and when to hit each one. My mom and I have participated in the "early bird" shopping now for probably 10 years. I guess you could say it is one of our traditions. I love it, because I can get all of my shopping done in one day and save lots of money...not to mention the rush of just being out that early in the morning with thousands of other people who are doing the same thing. This year we set a record for how early we started. We got up at 3:15 and left the house at 3:30 to be at Kohls in Gainesville by 4:00. From there we went to Goodys, then the mall, Home Depot and Old Navy. Then it was back to Cornelia to check out K-mart and Walmart. We were done with all of that by 9:30! So, my Christmas shopping is over and now I looked forward to getting everything wrapped and under the tree.
