The next morning, Thanksgiving, I loaded everything in the van to take to Mike's moms while he was helping his uncle hook up a television. The plan was prepare the meal, eat and clean up at his moms, then head to my grandma's around 230.... That didn't got as planned.
I baked snickerdoodles and helped finish the main meal preparations at his Moms. We had a pretty good dinner with plenty left overs. I helped clean up but we wound up staying a little longer than I had hoped.
We finally got to my grandma's as they were pulling out left overs and we really didn't get to stay very long but had a good time laughing and visiting.
We drove back to Mike... we live about 45 minutes apart, that night with the plan of hitting the black friday sales. He decided he wanted to shop for the toys and was going to Toys R Us at midnight while I stayed home with the Princess, she had a big day and was sleeping rather soundly. He lasted 10 minutes, didn't even get out of the truck.... WUSS! I've been black friday shopping for the last few years and knew exactly what to expect. Sooo... we didn't get to shopping until nearly 10. It was then I learned that money I was waiting on had come in but I had to meet up back at my house to get it, 45 min trip number 4 in less than 36 hours.
After running EVERYWHERE. I finally picked my son up, he stayed at papa's with the idea that I would be early morning black friday shopping (wrong) and my money picked up as well.
We then went to Walmart and got A LOT of my Christmas shopping done and much of Mike's too. We were able to sneak Squirt's big gift in one basket covered with clothing so he didn't see it. Papa and Grandma showed up at Walmart and took Squirt with them so I could actually get it paid for and out the door without him seeing him.
We then had to start 45 min treck number 5 to Mike's to pick up his truck and get some items for him and The Princess.
Squirt helped us pick out a new tree at Walmart and was SOO excited and wanted to help decorate it. He actually called me as I was heading back to my house (treck 6).
"Momma," he says to me over the phone. "You can't do the tree yet, I'm helping Papa." I asked him what he meant. "You can't put the tree up Momma!!! I'm not there yet!!!"
I assured him I wouldn't start the decorating process without him and he was good.
"Bye, Love You See Ya Later!"
