Shopping & a NEW TREE!

On Friday night, my family did our annual Mom shopping Christmas trip. We go shop, shop, shop & then go out to dinner. We went to the Lonestar Steakhouse. It was okay food and our waiter was a happy happy annoying guy. Did you know that the staff stop and line dance at certain songs? I found that quite funny. I bet the boys hate that! Ashley wasn't feeling well at all so that wasn't much fun. Those of you that know her will find it shocking to know that SHE DIDN'T ORDER ANY DINNER! She's not one to pass up food - I've personally never seen it. Dylan also got a finger shaken at him by the Walmart greeter. It was around 10:30 at night & he wanted to ride in one of the motorized wheelchairs. The greeter said "No. Are you handicapped??" Dylan was like..."Umm, no" Thanks for stealing Dylan's thunder old greeter man. BUT - when we left Walmart (seriously, like an hour later) there was a motorized wheelchair in the parking lot & Dylan's dreams were fulfilled. I was surprised to get part of a Christmas bonus this year from my work. So I did a HUGE Costco trip & Casey suggested that we go buy ourselves this nice pre-lit tree that we both liked from Target. I love it! I'm probably going to keep our old tree as well though & then we can have a tree upstairs & downstairs (once we get furniture down there & actually spend time in that room). I imagine in 10 years I'll wonder what the heck I was thinking to have 2 freaking trees...but we'll see how it goes. The picture doesn't do it justice...it's really nice!! Caleb is FINALLY feeling like himself again. Almost 2 weeks later. Sheesh! Here is munching on some banana slices & vanilla wafers.
