Today (and 4am yesterday)

Yesterday, Mark and I got up at 3:30 and went to Black Friday at Circuit City. This is the first time I've ever done anything like it, and we did for a laptop which we really wanted. We ended up getting the exact model we wanted, and so did the people that got there at 10pm the night before... Black Friday line standing is a great lesson in humanity and what people will do for a deal, and how they will act. It was really interesting, but probably the last time I will do it.

Today all we did was go to the mall....but it was so much more then that.

Austin and Ryleigh visited St. Nick, we continued our Hallmark ornament tradition, this year with Ryleigh picking which ornament she would like (hint to any China adopters out there, they have an adorable little 2 ornament set with a pagoda and a Chinese girl, seriously cute). Austin chose a Star Wars ornament (of course) and Ryleigh chose a Mickey Mouse ornament. Very cute.

Then, we went to the pet store to pick out a new fish (we had death on Thanksgiving) and Austin got to hold the tarantula. What a brave guy!!

That's a really sweet tradition, you know getting the special ornament. I don't think you ever outgrow the fun! My first Hallmark ornament was picked out for me by Stacey and a 5 month old Austin. It was a 1st Xmas as a married couple ornament. I still have it....7 years later!
Merry Holidays!
