meg had a lot of christmas shopping left to do, so she decided to make a day of it

first stop chapters to get books for all the kids, she especially wanted to find a boxed set of the narnia books for eilidh
to pass the time while she was gone, the little girls worked on a giant christmas puzzle

koko decided to “help”

no no! bad kitty!

next stop toysrus, for toys of course

dovey pointed out pieces for the other girls to put in. she had a good top view from her chair

then she headed over to the fabric store to get material to make christmas aprons

as the day passed the puzzle started to come together

winners was next – the kids are growing fast and all need new clothes

they got farther…

some of the christmas light strings got broken last year, so she stopped at the hardware store for new ones

and farther…

more shopping at the craft store to get supplies for the advent crafts, and a few more for stocking stuffers

till at last they were done!

as the afternoon was ending meg headed to the yarn shop for some last minute christmas knitting

they were so excited about finishing that they woke eilidh up from her nap

last stop of the day was a store called “destination christmas” for some extra christmas decorations. with the snow starting to fall, meg headed home

“megs been gone a very long time, do you think she is ever coming back?”
“i’m sure she will be home soon”
eildih replied

just then a voice called out “i’m home!” and in came meg with arms full of bags
