when i finally had a chance to sit down on thanksgiving i decided that i'd like to do some black friday shopping. i planned on sleeping until delaney's middle of the night feeding (3 or 4 am) and then leaving for some deals. so of course delaney slept all night and then some. she finally woke up around 10, such a little bratty!
lex and chris had talked about wanting to come so we set off!
we went to target, kohls, and the exchange for black friday stuff and then had to stop by lowes, michaels, and target (again) for science fair project stuff.
i had never shopped in the middle of the day on black friday, but i gotta tell ya, i'm a believer!
i never would have thought, but the stores were pretty mellow and they had everything i wanted.
i don't know that i'll ever go in the middle of the night again, it was just that awesome.
d-mama came with us and she was super mellow. those teeth really did a number on her!
while we shopped, matt washed cars. i love his ingenious way of keeping the water warm!
that night we went to our 4th annual christmas tree lighting on the square.
don't we have just the cutest town?!
and the cutest girl?!
we met up with johnna and her grandson (and frankie's boyfriend) to enjoy the festivities.
the cute couple. :)
it was such a nice night! i brought a coat but didn't end up needing it at all.
we rode on a little trolley ride and frankie waved at all of her loyal subjects.
then johnna and i waited in line for a sleigh ride.
lars and matt took the kids for santa stories, cookies, and crafts.
then while johnna waited in line for santa pics we took the kids to pet the animals
and ride the ponies.
the little girl that took addie around wasn't the best at stopping the pony for pictures so i wasn't able to get very good ones.
guess we'll have to do horseback riding lessons for the pictures if for nothing else. ;)
(that is in the plans, ps)
frankie was so excited that she could barely wait her turn. she kept going into the little pen and before the other child had even left she was climbing up on the pony.
our little animal lover.
they all loved riding. :)
while we waited in the still long line for santa pics, frankie made some friends.
that's merida's horse that she's playing with, bytheway.
these two are so cute together!
they've been playing together since they were super little and it's so cute to see them finally interacting.
"what do you see?"
"hmmm..."
"maybe a better look?"
they played and ran around on the grass and played and...
finally it was our turn!
and this is what i got...
ah well.
what are you gonna do?
we had left a sleeping delaney with a sleeping lexi but had gotten the text that neither was still sleeping and one (or possibly both) was busy crying.
so it was time to say our goodbyes.
she's a little forward.
the girls had fun running down the middle of the (closed off) street towards our car.
you can barely see christian, who was in hot pursuit, behind a super happy addie.
and another fun tree lighting is under our belts.
