Black Friday

This past Friday was Evie's first Black Friday experience. We weren't planning on doing any shopping and we WERE planning on avoiding the outlets, but Evelyn had us up early so we decided to go and check out the deals. We did actually find some great sales and got some Christmas shopping done. Nathan also bought me a few things from Banana and Anne Taylor to update my wardrobe. :) Now that I'm back in my regular sizes and since I didn't get anything new for 10 months, we decided it was time for an update. :) Here is Evelyn enjoying her first trip to the Outlets. She loves Gymboree, Carters, and Baby Gap. ;)

It's our family's tradition to get our Christmas tree and decorate our house the day after Thanksgiving. So after the outlets we headed over to... LOWES! I know, it's not as glamorous as going out and cutting down our own, but there isn't a place you can do that close to us and Lowes as the size and the price range we look for.
Evelyn and I search for the perfect one:

Well, she really slept and Nathan and I searched:
And here's the one!

And the amazing Daddy tying it on top of our car:
We of course had to decorate the tree and the whole house as soon as we got home. Poor Evie was so tired that she slept through the whole thing, even her introduction to Nathan's all-time favorite ornament - GUMBY! He's practically the same size as her!

Once Evelyn did wake up we got some pics of her with the tree sitting in her bumbo! She's so small she actually sorta fits in the bumbo because the back of the bumbo is high enough to hold up her head. While these pics are cute and funny, I think we'll wait a few more months to really start using the bumbo. ;)
