Exhausted from Black Friday Shopping

This year, like every year, I went shopping on Black Friday with my parents. The difference this year? Ethan, Brady and Ryan came along as well! We left at 7:00 am Friday morning for Fairview Heights and arrived around 9:00 am. We shopped all day and then went to the hotel around 5:30 pm for appetizers, drinks and swimming! Ryan and Ethan were the only ones to make it into the pool (it was about 50 degree water and they both ended up with blue lips....oh the things Ryan will do for Ethan:-) Ethan and Brady both got to sit on Santa's lap....Ethan asked Santa for "only two things...a toy car and Strawberry Shortcake." We are still trying to figure out the Strawberry Shortcake! We got up the next morning and headed to St. Louis Mills to do some more shopping! Brady was as happy and content as always...smiling the entire day. It was a new experience for Ryan but I think in the end he had a great time.

By the time we got home Saturday night we were all exhausted, and Brady was happy to spread out on the floor for some tummy time!
