Ok so I know I haven't blogged in a LONG LONG time but I am back!! In March I lost my camera :( which I am still so sad about. So, for an early Christmas present this year Sheridan got me a camera on Black Friday!! It's not as nice as my old camera but I am SO happy!!! So, hopefully my posts will be more regular again.
Black Friday was a lot of fun. Sheridan and I stayed up until 12:30 and then had to get up at 2:30am again to start shopping! We went to Kohls first because they opened at 3am, but the line was too long (plus we got there a little late at about 3:30) so we decided just to head to Target and get in line. We got there at about 3:35 and the line was already almost a mile long!! Once the doors opened I beelined it to the back of the store (electronics) to get the camera I wanted that was on sale. We also picked up some jammies for Lincoln and a fake Christmas tree (more on the tree in a minute). After Target we went to Burlington Coat Factory -- I love this store!! You can find the best deals, especially on baby items. Clothes there are usually a third of the price of what you would pay at Kohls or Target. We got Lincoln two super cute outfits ($12 for a collared shirt, jeans AND jacket set), some new shoes, etc. I scored and got a new pair of jeans, a new coat, new running shoes, decorations for the tree, etc.
So we got home at about noon and Lincoln and Sheridan took a little nap (I ended up running back to Kohls to pick up a shirt for our family pictures the next day). At 2:30 we watched the Auburn/Alabama game -- it was a crazy game!! It got Sheridan all excited. We had ham leftovers from Thanksgiving and then watched the Oregon/New Mexico game at 7:30 -- another exciting game!! Then finally at 10:15 the Boise State/Nevada game came on. Boise State lost in the last few minutes of overtime, partly because their kicker missed two crucial kicks. This was a really sad evening at our house :( About a year and a half ago Sheridan's best friend from high school and college unexpectedly passed away. Steve was the ultimate Boise State football fan. He never missed a game and even traveled to the Tostitos Fiesta bowl to watch Boise State play! After Steve died, Sheridan always felt like Steve was watching over the Boise State football team. Boise State hadn't lost a single game since Steve passed away. Sheridan carried on Steve's legacy by always wearing Steve's Borah High School football shirt underneath his Boise State shirt every game day. In a strange way, Sheridan felt like Steve was still with him each Saturday when Boise State played and won. Sheridan knew that Boise State would eventually lose, but regardless, it was still a tough loss.
Here are some pictures documenting the day!!
Here is the Christmas Tree that we got at Target (fake). It was a great deal -- only $30 (regularly $60) and came prelit. I was so excited because I thought it was the perfect height for the window seat where Lincoln couldn't grab the ornaments or knock the tree down. Whoops!! It was just a few inches too tall!! Oh well.....we just have a squished Christmas tree this year :)
Here is Lincoln playing with his toys while I was getting the tree set up. Of course he is not smiling -- he never smiles when we pull the camera out!!!! :)
Pulling the tree out of the box and getting it all set up! I also just got this Scensty hat and I love it!!
We got these cute ornaments at Burlington for only $9.99! BUT I started to hang them on the tree and there were no hooks! Bummer! So, I fixed the problem by finding some of our fishing line from our bag of fishing gear and made little loops of fishing line to go through the ornaments :)
