The excitement and build up for this activity this year was so huge! The kids were so excited about making this shopping trip and picking for the person whose name they drew. Wrapping their presents to their picked person had to happen last night as well. So glad they enjoy this tradition!! We will definitely make this an ongoing thing. I do think we will stick with the Dollar Tree and not branch out to more expensive items. :) You can read my post from last year by clicking on Secret Santa or Great Days! in the labels on the side of the blog page. Very much a great day!
After shopping, we walked next door to the pet store and purchased a dog tag for our new puppy, Loki. Loki has been with us for about a month now, but he was an early Christmas present. Had borrowed a selfie stick a few days before and took our one picture with the borrowed stick. My family was COMPLETELY embarrassed to have to take this picture at the front of the PetSmart store. I didn't see where this was a big deal, but thought I would share the photo (though not a good one) since it caused such an uproar.
After getting the dog tag, we continued our tradition by eating dinner out last night. We went to O'Niels and as luck would have it--it was kids night! All kids, 12 and under, eat for 99 cents! Woo Hoo!! And we all received a balloon animal. I asked for the snowman, Emily has a teddy bear, Ryan has a laser gun, Lydia asked for a dog and Mike asked for the hot dog, in a bun, with mustard. So cute! All of them! We have been there before on kids nights, but it has been a long time. Fun night!!
