Today, Dorene and I got to go Christmas shopping, sans kids. Dorene's sister is in town and booked a room at Varsity Club Suites in Mishawaka. So, she took Anna and Cameron. Dorene's parents went to the hotel and helped watch Allie. That gave us a day to finish up Christmas shopping, and we certainly needed the time because the stores were packed.
However, I love it. I've never complained about stores being too busy. Because, DUH, it's Christmas time, it's supposed to be busy. If you are too bah humbug, stay away and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves.
We didn't quite finish everything, still have to get Cameron something, but that's about it. Everyone else is all taken care of.
An interesting thing took place at Meijer. We were looking at toys and a kid, about 10 or 11, nice clean cut looking kid, came up to Dorene and handed her a two-dollar bill. Said he wanted to give it to us because we seemed like a nice family (by this point, we had Allie with us while Anna and Cameron stayed with Dorene's sister). Never had that happen before. Have no idea why. But, hey kid, that was very thoughtful of you.
