Today was a busy day! I was too lazy to move Olivia to her own bed last night, so I left her in bed with us. Amelia actually slept in this morning, so Olivia and I relaxed and watched some morning cartoons. I left her to shower and get ready for the day, and by the time I was done, Amelia was up. I sent them off to bug Christian while I made dinner and got them down to eat some breakfast. Finally, got them dressed and ready for the day. We had some final shopping to get done, and I was definitely worried about the crowds.
Amelia and I were off to do our shopping. First up, we hit the mall. I picked up a few things for Christian, and Old Navy happened to be having an AMAZING sale, so I picked up a few things for myself. I grabbed my usual mall treat, an Orange Juilus, and we were off to our next destination. Next, a quick stop at Menards to grab a gift card. Finally, Target for our weekly shopping/final Christmas shopping. We flew right threw and were finally done for the day. I grabbed us some Taco Bell for lunch on the way home, but Amelia passed out. She officially shopped til she dropped! So, she went down for a nap while I ate lunch and wrapped Christian's gift.
Christian spent the day shopping with his mom and Olivia. They arrived home shortly after I did, and Olivia went down for her nap.
Once naps were over, it was time to get ready for our next event. Our friends were stopping over to bring us some Christmas cookies, so I offered to cook some dinner so we could hang out and have a little play date. The girls had a blast with Olivia's BFF, Bella. Christian and Mariano were inseparable all night, like usual. I'm glad Christian has found somebody he really connects with. They have a similar background, they're from the same place, they have a ton in common. I definitely sense a bromance forming! Sara and I got in plenty of conversation and laughs too. It's nice to finally have a family (close by) that we connect with to spend time with. YAY for new friends!
Eventually, they headed home and the girls went down for bed. Since I don't have to work tomorrow, I spent the night catching up on some Dexter while Christian went to bed. Another weekend comes to an end...kind of anyway...
While they were out, Olivia convinced Christian that she NEEDED Jingle, the dog from Hallmark. Of course, she has him wrapped around her finger..so he did buy it. Therefore, tonight, Buddy brought Olivia her very own puppy. She has not put it down, and is obsessed with it, so I guess it was at least a good purchase. I will say, he is pretty cute. Ugh, what a pushover!
