Someone Got An Early Present :p

It was just a simple trip to Wal-Mart (I don't even remember what exactly we went for).  The whole family went, which is always dangerous... Zach wants 5 different cereals, Sophie wants cookies, and my husband... well, somehow he always ends up in the electronics section!  Lol!!!  It never fails.  If the store has a department of electronics, Gabe has to check it out.  No matter if he just checked it out two days ago, he will check it out again!!  Lol!  Buuut, in his defense our t.v. in the living room is pretty bad.  Have I blogged about this yet?  I don't think so.  Let me blog about our crappy t.v.!!!!  We bought a nice 50inch Sony about three years ago.  And of course (about the time the warranty runs out) it starts having problems!  And my Dad was actually the first to point it out.  Our screen would have a green/yellow hue to it.  But only in certain spots, so it was almost like you were imagining it all.  But then eventually it did get worse.  And worse.  And worse.  Lol.  Gabe would constantly say, "We need a new t.v.!"  I knew it was true... I was just not wanting to feel like we "wasted" good money on this crappy t.v.  We did look into getting it fixed and we found that others had run into the same problem that we did.  Apparently it was happening to a lot of people that had bought this version, but of course Sony was doing nothing to compensate and the cost of fixing it wasn't worth it.  It was cheaper just to buy another t.v. (not Sony).  Especially since the prices have gone down a lot.
So here we were in Wal-Mart staring at all of these beautiful, vibrant t.v.'s just waiting to be bought and taken home.  Lol.  We had discussed buying one for our Christmas present to each other, but that was as far as it had gotten.  Just a discussion.  So I surprised my honey by saying, "Let's go ahead and get it today!!"  He couldn't believe his ears!!  Haha!  I think I made his day!  Maybe even his month!  :p
He wasted no time finding someone to help us and load that baby into the shopping cart.  Well, wouldn't you know, they didn't have the one we wanted in stock!  That's ok... have no fear.  We hurried to the next store that did have one and bought it!  Lol!!!  He wasn't going to waste no time while I was being so generous!!  Lol!!!

Merry Christmas Honey!!  Oh, and Merry Christmas to me too!! ;)
 So of course when we got home we just had to set it all up and watch a blue ray movie!!!  Wow!!  What a difference!  Our old t.v. was bad, but I just didn't realize how bad!  Lol!!!

The kids enjoyed playing with the styrofoam from the box.  Haha!  If only it was always that simple.  Am I right?
