Tis the Season

So now that we are just past Thanksgiving my mind has finally realized that Christmas is just 4 weeks away.. So I went out shopping today and got absolutely nothing except for some great ideas for my girls, my nieces, husband and my mom. I had already spent a little bit of time on Amazon this morning getting Matchbox garbage trucks for Lily since she is totally obsessed with the Garbage and Recycling trucks that come down our street. I had to make it worth the shipping charge so I also bought them a DVD that I hope they will enjoy, a book for the girls to share and a book for Lee that I recall him telling me about (and I hope that he doesn't already own). Most of it will be here in time (the book for the girls won't be here till between Jan and March) for Christmas. In the meantime I need to get them some dress up stuff since Anna likes to pretend that she is a Princess or a Ballerina. They also need a couple more tops/ outfits. Lee is looking for PJs to get him through the winter. I saw a couple of things that my nieces might be excited about. I have a feeling that most of what I get toy-wise will be coming from the toystore that just opened in my hometown that I am working at currently.

I still need to figure what we are using for a card this year... I'm leaning towards a photo card this year to go with our yearly letter. In true procrastination fashion I still need to take or find a good photo(s) for the card. There are a few contenders already but I just can't decide. Hopefully next weekend once my mom's tree is up and the house is decorated I can get a nice picture of the girls there that will hopefully work.
