Advent Day 16 - Below Freezing!
Happy Day 16 everybody!!
It was really really really cold here today (-8 degrees F / -22C). The girls and I mostly stayed in Grandma's warm centrally heated house and kept busy but we did get bundled up and ventured out to Target.....
=)
Look what we bought!!
We do not have Cheeze-it or Goldfish crackers in NZ so that is one of the things the girls wanted to buy on our little trip to Target today. (My Target bags are loaded with gifts that I got on clearance at 50% off.. =) We do not have Target in NZ either so it is a fun place to go for all of us when we get back to the States. I love and miss Target clearance =)
We stopped in the food area at Target and Haidyn had a blue ICEee and pizza (all blasts from her past, she remembers getting these when she was 4 years old on our trips to Target in CA). Athea does not remember trips to Target she has been in NZ almost her whole life but she enjoyed chicken strips. =)
We also cruised the toy aisle to get ideas for our Christmas letters to Santa.

When we went home the girls colored love notes for their Dad who is back in NZ.
Cereal before bedtime with Grandma..

Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms.. cereals that are not sold in NZ and the kids only ever get this "fun" (super sugary) kind of cereal at Grandma's house...
Getting silly while getting ready for bed.. (this was actually before the sugar cereal was even eaten.. =)
