Christmas shopping

Let me start out by saying--I hate crowds. Maybe I'm getting old? But there is one time a year that I like to go out in the midst of the crowds. And that is to Christmas shop. On Saturday, we went to a mall on the northside of Indy and did some Christmas shopping. We left around 9:30 and didn't get home until after 6. It was a long day, but we got a lot done. We only have a few more things to get and we all will be done with all of our shopping. Thank goodness! Now that I've had my one day of crowds, I'm done. Besides my feet were hurting by the end of the day. We did go out to eat at a favorite restaurant -- Carrabba's--since there isn't one close to us. K didn't get her nap and she was grumpy by early evening. Now she is all messed up as to her "nap" time. When she went to bed last night, she thought it was just her nap and wondered why it was dark. Today when she went for her nap, she wanted to brush her teeth and get her jammies on. And she keeps talking about a "nap." She is such a person of routine. Now I have only a few days to finish up, since we are having our family Christmas this Saturday. No pressure!
