The Christmas Bizarre

The day after Thanksgiving, all of the gals went Christmas shopping at the Christmas bizarre in Portland. That was an absolute blast!!! But before we started out, we went with the guys to check something out in Home Depot.  Turns out my wonderful Grandparents bought a brand new refrigerator for my mom's Christmas present! She was so surprised. 
After that the guys went home and us gals stopped at Starbucks, then off to the bizarre!  
Shopping...
I think my favorite stand, was called, 'Za Zen." It is actually a store, and they brought some of their clothes to sell at the bizarre. VERY cute stuff. You could probably compare it to 'Romy's.'

There were these Christian brothers selling barbecue stuff called, 'king of Cajun.' They were so nice!

Ha ha ha- little Nickolas Maximus...he was sure having a blast in that new elf hat Caitlin got for him!


Lazy elf...
I came home with-
A National Geographic book that I won
A necklace and earring set for $3
A Christmas present for Papa (nope I'm not telling what it is. )
A cute sweater from 'Za Zen' for $5
And a whole bunch of makeup from an Avon stand

Then...
We came home to a HUGE surprise from the guys.
While we were gone they had made dinner...

Put in new lights...

got a whole new village...
And had decorated the outside of our house with Christmas lights!!! Wow- oh- wow! Everything was so beautiful and so Christmas like, that we all had to go upstairs and watch 'ELF.' -one of our favorite Christmas movies.

...And relax from the fun and eventful day!
