Black Friday
Day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. is called "Black Friday", since many businesses generates so much Christmas-related sales that their books become black instead of red. For myself personally, I hate this day to do any shopping since the places are generally packed with people and the lines are unusually long. I'd rather stay home instead.
However, by noon, Daddy suggested to hit a couple of stores instead. So we did. It wasn't too bad. We actually got to shop a bit...all for Erik, of course. We have to prepare Erik's First Christmas!! :o) hahaha. Now that we're a family, the holidays seem so much more special, for some reason.
Christmas really isn't one of our all-time holidays even though Daddy grew up in a Christian Brother boarding school. As for Mummy, well, my family was not into the "U.S. Holidays" as much and didn't celebrate it much. But with Erik, it's a completely different story. We can't wait to see Erik's face when we bounce him down the stairs on Christmas morning and see what "Santa" left him since he's been such a good boy this year!! We bought some toys for Erik already and every time Erik passes by, he keeps looking at them wondering what they are?! Hee Hee!
After the light shopping, we decided to visit our long-time friends, Anne and Dave, especially since Erik is quite particular to blondes, and they have two beautiful daughters, Laura (9 years old) and Natalie (2 1/2 years old). :-) hee hee. So Erik can have an impromptu playdate, even though they're older. At first Natalie was not warm to Erik at all and she got a bit jealous when her mom was holding Erik. However, by the end of it, she was ready to have a movie date with Erik! :o) So cute! She actually brought down her Baby Einstein video and demanded that Erik and I sit next to her to watch and then she would scoot herself close to us and wanting to sit on my lap just like Erik. Awwww......would you guys consider this Erik's first date?! hahahah! ....and with an "older woman!".
So it ended a nice and relaxing day for us, as it ought to be! Definitely looking forward to the weekend!
