Hailey and Peyton had fun watching Little House episodes.  I had fun too.

We went to Culvers after the girls helped papa pick up the tractor/snowblower he bought

I got up, got ready and read my Bible.  Hailey got up around 9.  Vikki was supposed to come at 10 and go with us to Kimmy's.  I called her and she was still sleeping so said she would come at 11.  Hailey talked to Bruce and wanted him to take her to Target.  She bought 3 tops there Friday and when she got home all three had those tags the store has to remove on them.  I told her I would take her, so we went to her house, picked up the shirts, then went to Target.  We prayed it wouldn't be busy.  We passed some stores that weren't busy and when we got to Target, they weren't real busy either.  We got right in, were second in line and were out in about 8 minutes.   Hailey hadn't eaten breakfast, because we decided to hurry to Target.  We got in the McDonald drive thru line.  It was 10:20 when we got in line.  She had wanted a burger, but then we noticed on their app, that you couldn't get a burger until 11.  She ordered a hash brown and a frappe' instead.  We waited a long time before we could order and then a long time before we could pick our order up.  It was after 11 when we finally left.  We were trapped in that line so couldn't leave like we saw lots of people on the other side doing.  Hailey ate while we were heading home.  Vikki and Peyton were waiting for us.  We all headed to Kimmy's.  We saw an eagle on the way.  We did stop at Taco Bell in Midland to get Hailey something good for her.  We checked on the animals.  Peyton fed the chickens, Vikki unlocked the gate and I locked it when we went to check on Bo and the Ram.  Bo was doing good and was happy to get more hay.  The cats both came to greet us and get some attention.  We stopped at Big Boy on our way home.  The girls got shakes and we got hot fudge brownie ice cream cakes.  Yum!  We came home and Vikki stayed for a few minutes, then headed home to spend time with Rody and Isaac.  The girls and I put the ornaments on the tree.  They sure were amazing helpers.  It went fast.  Bill went to look at the tractor he wants to buy again.  He came home and got the trailer because he decided to buy it.  He took the girls with him in case he needed help.  I decorated more of the house.  I went out to look at the tractor and help them when he got home.  We went to Culvers afterward for burgers, fries and concrete mixers.  We came home and watched Little Houses.
