Ok, so the tree is decorated, the lights and decorations are up outside and I've almost finished putting up the decorations inside. Whew!!! The kids have decorated their mini gingerbread houses and they can't wait to dig in. I was hoping to wait at least until tomorrow, but my son has already started on his. They had a blast making them and I only helped in the beginning. They completely took over once they saw how messy I was getting and wanted to join in the fun. Of course, licking their fingers and eating the candy is some of the best parts of building gingerbread houses. I noticed my son taking the icing bag and emptying it into his mouth. I guess he figured it was less messy and much quicker to just get it in there that way.
Okay, so part of getting into the season for me is shopping Black Friday. I make a point to always go shopping early in the morning to find the best deals. There are so many who don't take advantage of this, but I have saved so much money by shopping the early hours and to me that is exciting. This year I had a list of items and was so prepared. I knew what store opened at what time and what item I was needing from each store. I did occasionally find the deal I didn't think I would find which makes a long morning more rewarding. My husband decided to go with me this year and he is not a fan of shopping, but he held his own and actually got into it. I think he might be my new Black Friday shopping buddy. Yeah!!!!
