Then we met The Brugger's for breakfast at Perkins and had an enjoyable time sharing, laughing, and of course, eating. What a great way to start the morning. (I have not eaten breakfast for months). Then we were off to start the difficult day of shopping for everyone. We started at the Thrift store to see if we could get any good bargains on clothes for the kids. Aisle after aisle of clothes, I could hardly wait to get out of there.
From there we went to straight to the Grand Old American store--Walmart! I was very concerned about the huge crowds and the long lines and since we were not there by 4:00A.M., I was afraid the coveted and best gifts would be gone. We rushed to get a cart and began looking feverishly for presents that we knew everybody else wanted. We had to knock over one old lady, but she got in our way, and we really didn't care- we needed to get that present. We finally found it and were so thrilled.
Thankfully, after that close brush with disaster, the rest of the day went smoothly and we were able to get most of the shopping done. No worries though, we still have several days left to get other things.
Hopefully, the kids don't read this post, they might discover some of their presents, oh well! What a day! By the way, we are still taking donations to cover the cost of this particular post and the contents thereof. The day ended with us going to church to go Christmas caroling at several of the Nursing homes in the area. It was a good way to end the day and make someone smile this blessed Christmas season!
Toodles!
