I LOVE shopping. I always have. And shopping the day after Christmas is the best because you have all your Christmas money to spend.
It all starts with my dad reading the ads and finding out what stores are having what sales, and what time they all open. He is the highlight of the shopping adventure. We have so much fun with him and I'm so glad he likes to come! Then we map out our game plan. We started this last year and had so much fun that we decided to make it a new tradition.

So we got up and arrived at Target just as the doors were opening. We stayed there for about 45 mins (the allotted amount of time) before heading to Macy's, our second stop. Last year we found a lot of good stuff at Macy's, but this year it was a bust. After that we headed down to Modern shoe in Provo. It's this little old shoe store that sells expensive shoes like danskos, merrells, etc. They have really good sales after Christmas, but Laura was looking for UGGs and they weren't carrying them this year.
Next up was breakfast. We headed over to IHOP for some delicious omelets and french toast.

After breakfast we headed back to the mall where we shopped until we literally dropped. It was a blast. I don't get out without my kids much so I really appreciate when I get that chance. So a special thanks goes out to my sweet husband who spent his day off home with the kids. They had a great time together and I'm so grateful for my awesome family.
So it was another successful post-Christmas shopping adventure!

Great tradition Mary! I liked the idea of the breakfast best. I love having meals with my family where we can talk, etc. Modern shoe is quite the place. We discovered it four years ago when we got home from our mission. I went to Deseret Book and Roberts for sales and that is all. Logan is a sweetheart to let you have a fun day out without the kids. Way to go Logan! I can't get on-this is Gram.
