• This morning I was pretty brave and took both big boys Christmas shopping together. Anderson is not a fan of shopping, and Graham really isn't a fan either. However, I needed (and still do) Christmas ideas for them so they had to go.
• I did start the morning off with a run to ChickFilA to pick up some free breakfast things for us. That helped a little bit. Then it was on to Walmart for some shopping for their stockings. Graham found one gift there, plus he also found a Hogs shirt, but when we were checking out, he saw a hole in it...and then tonight when I was at another Walmart, I forgot to look for a replacement.
• Next up was Academy-we kind of struck out there, but Anderson did get some shorts (not Christmas) that he needed plus we bought an extra pair for him for Christmas plus a sweatshirt. Graham also found a shirt there. Oh, and they both found basketballs there as well.
• After this we braved the outlet, and that is where they started to get tiredI worked on  and a wee bit grumpy. Graham really wanted to go to HandM, but everything that he looked at did not have his size. We went to Old Navy next, where Graham found a pair of shorts while Anderson bought a dress shirt (not for Christmas).
• When we did make it home, the girls could not get over that we had already been shopping and were back home. It was almost noon, but it wasn't that early. I worked on putting those present up for a little bit. The girls were busy all afternoon getting ready for a lock in at church tonight. 
• Robby worked on the winterizing the camper most of the afternoon. I helped some and so did the big boys.  We dropped the girls off at church, and then Robby and I went to eat really quickly. 
• After eating, we went to Walmart where I bought a few more Christmas presents while he bought things we need like food for tomorrow's supper. Once we came home, we had a ton of Amazon packages to open so it took me half an hour to go through all of them and put them where they needed to go.
• Now, I am cuddled up in my blanket on the couch while Robby is watching football, and I am about to start a new book.
