After Christmas Shopping

Aunt Lorina and Aunt Christina gave the girls the cutest gift! They gave them each a gift card to Payless, a gift card to Claire's, and a gift card to JC Penney (Emma) or a gift card to Justice (Lauren). They put the gift cards in a cute box and called it an "outfit in a box." We took the girls to the mall yesterday and let them shop for their outfits. We ate lunch at Olive Garden using a gift card from Aunt Shannon, and had tons of fun together. We talked about missing Nana during our shopping trip, because one of the best parts of spending Christmas in Las Vegas is after-Christmas shopping with Nana, but we still had a great time. Here's the fashion show:
Lauren got a shirt at JC Penney, because Landon needed $5 more to use a $10 off coupon for a hoodie he was buying for himself. Lauren found a $5 clearance shirt at JC Penney, so she lucked out that Dad bought her something. She bought the shoes at Payless with her gift card. She liked them because they were just like Nana's shoes. They are slip-on athletic-type shoes. She also found some cute black flats for Church, or other occasions.

Lauren had just enough money left over for some glove/mittens! Cute!

At Claire's, Lauren bought a necklace, a wallet, some glittery "mood" nail polish, and ducky earrings.

Emma didn't find any shoes she liked at Payless yesterday, so we went back today to the Rexburg Payless. She didn't see anything again, but of course Lauren spotted some shoes she had to have: (She used her own money!)

Emma had some success at JC Penney. She is a selective shopper, and would rather wait for exactly what she wants. She spent half her gift card on these lovely items:

This is a grey, sweater-type thing that you wear over another shirt. It's actually really cute.

This is a purple, cotton/rayon shirt with a crocheted top. She will wear a white, 3/4 length sleeve undershirt, under this shirt. It is really cute and looks great on her.

At Claires, she bought 3 pairs of earrings (kind of hard to see in the picture) and a wallet. The wallets were buy one get one free, so if anyone needs a wallet, you could offer to buy one from her. She was really happy with her purchases.

This is me. Landon made me a ham sandwich with chips and a diet Pepsi for lunch today. I had just returned from shopping with the girls, then shopped online with Lauren at Justice so she could spend her giftcard. I was tired and my back hurt, so I took a vicodin and asked Landon to make me lunch. I'm a lucky girl!

This is Emma's science project. She's entering the school district science fair. She is doing it on how fast seeds germinate. The seeds are in wet paper towels in plastic bags hanging on the wall next to the bathroom.

It looks like the girls got some great stuff! Plus, I see your hair is big again, you must be feeling lots better. ;)

Awesome idea of an outfit in a box. Looks like shopping could soon be an Olympic event! Let us know how the experiment turns out.

Why is Emma not trying on the clothes?! Lauren is just like Nase, doesn't matter where he is and who's supposed to be spending money or NOT, but he always finds something!

I'm so glad the gift was a hit. It will more than likely be a reoccuring gift, since the girls liked so much. It makes my life easier too. So win win!!
