A Fun Day!

Today was fun! Meggy & I met Dee-deed and we got some breakfast and headed down to the event that I look most forward to every year. Christmas Village!!! I think this year was the biggest. They had over 700 booths and it literally took us from 10:00a to about 2:30p to walk through it all. We saw all sorts of crafts and creations and of course looked at other things and thought 'Now how come I didn't think of that?'. I saw some very cute things but with the limited amount of money I had to take with me, a lot of the cute things were ooohhhed and aahhhhed over but left hanging on the racks. I love the children's clothes down there and especially the smocked dresses but I can't bring myself to pay $70-$80 for one dress. I even saw the cutest pj gown and it alone was $44. I had to try and explain to Meggy why I couldn't pay $44 for one single gown. We saw all sorts of things from clothes to Christmas decorations to soaps to personalized items and even some type of hammock thingy. This is definitely a girlie show because there weren't too many guy things to look at. One particular item that always had people standing in lines was the dip and soup tables. We tried so many dips and I think I even walked away with nine different types of dips. Some herb garden,crab,cheesy bacon,veggie and then some dessert dips, chocolate covered cherry, strawberry and pumpkin pie. I can't wait to eat some of those. They will be great with some sliced apples or mini vanilla wafers! I also had to get a "hot" dip for David. You know, the kind only men can eat because us silly women would be screaming for a gallon of water. I ended up getting him two different kinds and he'll probably be the only one eating it. He likes that kind of hot stuff. Meggy got to play with special bubble wands and make some big bubbles and she even got to sit down and color some pictures for one of the local radio stations. But when it came down to turning in her picture so they could hang it up, she didn't like that idea and so wanted to take her picture with her. I think the thing she was most excited about was seeing Santa Claus. She didn't like the idea of going and sitting on his lap so we just stood off to the side so she could get a good look at him. She couldn't wait to tell David about it.

All in all it was a great day and we had a great time...that is until I came home and was so nauseated that I threw up. Hey, at least I didn't throw up at the Christmas Village.....that would have been really gross and embarrassing since I tend to be sick in a not so nice way. LOL!
