Yellow Friday

Calling the day after Thanksgiving "Black Friday" seems too dark and scary to me, so I renamed it Yellow Friday. My parents' favorite part of Yellow Friday was finishing off Dad's annual apple pie, but my favorite was pulling all the Christmas bins out of storage and picking up a Christmas tree... right after calling AAA to bring us a new car battery. We spent the afternoon running through mangrove trails in a nature preserve, and pointing out every single pile of raccoon scat along the way.Even Ryan thought it was a perfectly peaceful day!
Since Ryan goes to bed at 6:30 now, he missed the fun of decorating our tree that night. It was a good time with my Mom and Dad, we talked about Rudolph and my new boyfriend, Gavin With The Yellow Hair. He's an older boy, in the pre-K class across the hall. We play in the sandbox outside together. Dad tolerates my talking about Gavin, but inside is thinking "she's too young for this!".
