Christmas/holiday season

Well Christmas has come and gone now for New Year's Eve and Day. We had a good day on Wed we drove the hour to the closest mall and walmart to spend money we got for Christmas. Kido got herself a pair of pants and a pair of jean and a digital camera. Hubby got a pair of dress shoes and a pair of dressy but casual shoes. I put the money I got with money I've been saving for the last couple of years and got a KitchenAid stand mixer. I've been saving to buy one of the 500 series ones and JC Penny's had it online for $319.00 but it was going to be about 30 for shipping and then there was tax. I went to the mall with the0 intent of looking for one in store so as not to have to pay the shipping but nowhere had the one I was looking for. Got to Dillards and they had the next one up in the 600 series which is more horse power and such for 399 with a 50 dollar rebate so for the same price ordering the 500 would have been I got the next one up. I was excited :). We also went out to lunch and had pizza which was cool cuase we never get to do that hardly all we ever get is little Cesar's hot and ready 5.00 take out. This place was a buffet so actually got pizza with other stuff on it besides pepperoni. Yesterday we went to see my grandfather and my parents. I will be surprised if he makes it through the winter he has gotten so weak but is still eating what ever mom purees for him. It's been nice today to just hang out in pjs all day and do laundry. Got 2 more loads to do and all of mine and kido's laundry will be done. Now for some more laying around crocheting
