Walmart Bound.

So, yesterday about 9 am Griffin and I headed out Christmas Shopping. We got to the end of the road to get on the main road to head toward town and it was iced over. Oh my gosh! Three cars had skidded out before the first drive-way on the main road. We turned right around and headed home. That was pretty scary.

We waited a couple of hours before trying again. This time I could tell they had salted the roads and only one of the skidded out cars were still there.

First we headed to Plow 'N Hearth. I just love that store. I found the perfect gift for my mother-in-law Jeri (Mike's step-mom). I got her a pair of "real" Crocs and a nifty little tool that cuts corn off of the cob.

Then we met our friends Heidi, Ryan and Evan at the mall. It was sooooooooo busy. Oh my gosh. I did not find even one gift there. But, I did find Griffin three cute shirts at JC Penny and they were only $4.99 each. What a bargain.

Santa had arrived at the mall and we thought it would be fun to get a picture of them with Santa. Griffin wanted no part of it. This is the first time he's ever had a negative reaction to Santa Claus. He's never seen this Santa before, so I think next week we will try the Santa we always go to at Short Pump Mall.

It's 7:30 and Griffin is still sleeping. As soon as he wakes up, we are headed to Walmart. I have several children's toys I need to buy, and really no one beats Walmart's prices on toys. Mike has to work today ... so we are on our own. Mike thinks I'm crazy for trying to go to Walmart on a Saturday morning.

I only have TWO Christmas gifts purchased ... I have about 20 more to go. Wish me luck, maybe I'll just find the perfect gift today for everyone!!

I hope you all have a safe, happy and healthy weekend.
