Black Friday

Well, I did my part. I ordered a digital camera online. GO RETAIL!

The kids are excited to shop on Black Friday. I'm not sure why. We'll go in a peruse the sales later this morning to get out of the house. Tim works tonight, so we have to maintain some quiet. I am done shopping except for our charity gifts. We'll shop for those today so that the kids can pick them out.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I ran the dishwasher three different times. We made Easy Bake Oven Cakes, Red-Headed Dumplings and some short of "special" drink with fresh apples that ended up to be no-so-special. It was nice just to be home as a family.

The kids emailed Santa. Big moment. Northpole.com is the site to go. Not only can you email Santa there, but you can track his world-wide progress on Christmas Eve via NORAD and play games. The kids have already determined that we'll have to bring the laptop to Florida so we can still track Santa again this year. If you haven't purchased your chocolate advent calendars, Monday is already December 1.
