So, if you are looking for a Christmas tree or extra lights-go to LOWE's now!!! They have everything 50% off. It is picked over but still lots of stuff. We went after church last night and I was thinking of going back today. I got the cheesiest stuff-Matt was making fun of it. The difference is that I used to want to have things looking all classy and so-so but now I just want Arden to have fun. I got the light up cardinals for outside. I love them but must admit that they are funny. Shelly was just laughing at me when I said I wanted them. I did pass over the big blow up things for the yard but I got a light up penguin from target. Christmas is so fun with a child! I remember that when I was a kid I loved the house with the multicolor lights but when i grew up it all had to be white lights. Why did I start taking myself so serious? Well, this year I am not going to get too far out of the box but I am going to mix it up some.

I promise it won't look like this!!!


I also bought Arden's Christmas present on Craigslist this year for half price. It retails for 550-600 and bought it for half that. I have been looking at it since June and thinking of getting it for her bday--which is July. Well, I have been looking everyday and scanning Craigslist, Ebay, Websites etc. This one was in Nashville and I had to pick it up but it was brandnew practically. Not a scratch on it. Never even been outside. I am so pumped. I am more excited about getting a deal and something so cool than she will be to receive it. It was also fun because mom went with me and we did a little extra shopping while there. SO worth it.
