Shopping with the girsl

So..yesterday my sister, niece, Tatem and I went shopping over in Rochester, MN. My intentions were to get some Christmas shopping done for Tatem, we let our kids pick out their own Christmas gifts. This is a tradition from my mom and dad, there are three of us girls and since we all had our own tastes they let us pick out what we wanted once we were teenagers this way we got what we wanted. Anyway..Tatem found tons of stuff and I am pretty much done with her and now it is on to the boys!!

As I said we went shopping with my sister and niece, I just want to say I love my niece to pieces but she is spoiled rotten. She was so crabby while we were shopping if we were in a store she didn't want to be in or if she knew she was not going to get anything while in it. She really wanted to go American Eagle, but we were going up one side of the mall and down the other so she needed to wait until we got to that side. OMG the attitude this girl developed, I wanted to smack her. We finally get there and she left pissed because all she got was two t-shirts, I just can't believe they let her get away with it. Tatem went into this knowing I did not have the money to spend on anything extra and she was totally cool with that, I love that my kids are so respectful when it comes our inability to afford extras.

So, not too sure I want to that again real soon or ever but am glad I got one kidling out of the way.
