Thanksgiving

Well we had a good thanksgiving, Jeremy, Jaydon, and My dad all came over, I cooked everything, my dad brought dessert and Jeremy brought the appetizers, it was a good day, then afterwards we were off to my grandparents house so Meeka could decorate the tree, spend time with the relatives, and have some more dessert :) Meeka really likes to decorate the tree and enjoys being around the grandparents, Grandpa was really funny he took NIko and was showing him off to everyone he passed :) Such a proud grandpa!

Well afterwards I was off to do my Christmas shopping, I left around 10pm to start out at Walmart, I couldn't believe how much of a mess it was! I parked accross the street by Denny's and walked over, luckily there was no line to get in the store yet, but once inside I couldn't move! shoulder to shoulder and a lot of the deals that I wanted were already gone and not worth going to find them, I did score some great deals on video games for the kinect and some books for Meeka and Olivia :) then I left went home to rest for a few minutes then off to Target. Got to Target around 1130 there was already a line outside, so joined the line once I got in went straight to electronics to get the kinect and then onto the toys for Meeka's princess stuff :) Great deals! spent a little more than I thought I would but got everything for everyone :) slippers for Nixon, kinect for Meeka, hard drive for the xbox, xbox live cards for Jaydon, princess stuff for Meeka and some trucks for Niko, after target I was off to Toys R Us :) my last stop, it was around 1am now, I got through Toys R Us really quick and easy, no l ines and everything I wanted was still there, Niko's chair, then a bouncy ball thing for him that lights up :) Princess and Me dresses for Meeka they were BOGO free!! So I couldn't beat that! anyway that's little update for now :) This weekend Meeka and I are going to see Disney on Ice and I can't wait!

Holidazzle parade

The parade was AWESOME! I"ve got no pictures because we were running late, we had to get to our seats before the parade started otherwise we wouldn't get in, and I wanted us to be there by 5:30 and we ended up leaving at 5:30, then we had to get gas, there was a block off on the road that we needed to take, then when doing the detour Nixon got on the wrong highway so needless to say we got there with very little time to spare, we ended up parking in a garage that was private, didn't have to pay which was really nice of the people, because we went in the exit by accident, just in a hurry to find a place and get there. Well once we got there it was great! Seriously hot seats are the way to watch the parade!! Inside a warm tent, with cocoa or cider, and front row seats to watch the parade, it was AWESOME, and Nixon even complained that he was HOT, can you believe it?? So this is how we will do the parade from here on out! Next year though I will have to get tickets far ahead so we can get them on a Saturday and get to our seats earlier :) but it was good and Meeka really enjoyed it!! So score!!

Macy's

Well this past weekend we went to the macy's 8th floor, in past years we've avoided this because there is always a line and Nixon can't stand it, so this year we went on Sunday afternoon there were no lines and Meeka loved it! She also got to see Santa so it was really great for her!
