On Friday Tim and I took the day off of work to go (start) our Christmas shopping. I am ALWAYS finished Christmas shopping by now, but with everything going on, we were running behind. So, we headed to Indianapolis to get some things accomplished. Actually, before we started our Christmas shopping, we had to go order the chair for the nursery. We had previously decided what we wanted, it was just taking time to order it at the boutique in Noblesville or Carmel. The store is called Decor 4 Kids and it is the same place my parents ordered all of the bedding for the nursery. The owner is an interior designer and she is very helpful in deciding what to get. Anyway, we ordered the glider/rocker and ottoman and I can't wait to get it. It should arrive in 6 weeks!
After getting the chair ordered, we were on our mission to Christmas shop. We didn't get home until close to midnight, but we got A LOT accomplished. We did take a few breaks, so I could rest my tired feet, but other than that, I felt great!!! We were at Keystone shopping so as always, we ate at The Cheesecake Factory.
Baby also got a lot of things on our shopping adventure. We got his mattress, his special bis phenol-A free bottles, and several things at Babies R Us. He also got a few new outfits, which he absolutely did NOT need, but we couldn't resist!
Each year Tim and I take Laura and her boyfriend Brandon downtown Indianapolis to Christmas shop. It has become a family tradition. We were scheduled to go Saturday, but the weather was forecast to be horrible, so we decided not to chance it. Instead, Tim and I stayed around Muncie, went to the grocery, did more Christmas shopping, and picked up Laura and came home. Brandon ended up coming over and we ordered pizza and hung out. Laura and Brandon rented a movie for us to watch, Mr. Brooks. Apparently it was really good, but of course, I fell asleep about half way through! Laura and Brandon ended up leaving around 1:30 AM or so, but I was oblivious to all of this!!! It was getting bad out about the time they left. A typical one minute and a half drive to Laura's house took them 8 minutes!!! Tim said it wasn't snowing at that time, but the freezing rain and sleet were HORRIBLE!
I think we got around 6-8" of snow. (which isn't bad considering they were forecasting up to 17") This is much better than last year when we were snowed in for 4 or 5 days with no one plowing our roads! I think at that time we had 6' drifts and around 20" or so of snow!!! YUCK! The problem we have this year is the ice underneath all of the snow! Also, we are suppose to have 20-40 mph winds, which will cause major drifting! I have to be VERY careful walking around in this stuff. I have to keep our precious little one safe!!!
We are going to go with Laura and Brandon another day. As soon as they pick out their Christmas from Tim and I, we will be finished!!! Not bad for just getting started!!!
