So stay tuned! (By the way what team is he on? and what sport?)

Cinnamon, here she is. I wish I knew Santa was going to be at the mall when we went before Thanksgiving. The fuchsia and the red make my eyeballs bleed. But man was she excited! She stayed on his lap forever and begged to visit him over and over. We went 4 times that day!! (Luckily there was little demand for santa and no lines cuz it was not even Thanksgiving yet!)

Very sweet picture and I like the colors she is wearing, makes her stand out. All the kids were dressed in red at the mall and it was same old same old-She looks extra stylish!!!!

We are going today, our town is having free pics with Santa at the volunteer ambulance corp.
He wasn't ready to see him at the mall and I didn't push the issue..lol

Julie, I think Abby looks adorable! And she definitely looks very happy. It's a cute picture.

We took the kids down to see the Griffith Park Light Festival tonight. If anyone is planning on going, be prepared for a long wait if your doing the driving tour. We waited about an hour, but it was totally cool. Caleb and his buddy even enjoyed it, and they're 12 and trying to pretend they don't like anything, lol.

I finished 4 beaded keychains today. Have 5 more bookthongs to do and then I believe I'm done with my beaded Christmas presents. I bought gift boxes for all the book marks and keychains and jewelry for my nieces so I'm not going to wrap those. Just stick a bow on top and a gift tag.

The rest of the holiday cards will be mailed Monday (meant to have them in the mail last week but was a bit busy.) Darren has Monday off (then works the rest of the week and after that is off for 3 weeks) and we're going to finish up our Christmas shopping. I'm going to try get all the presents wrapped this week, not sure I'll have time, but if I don't I'll end up stuck in my bedroom doing it cuz this is the kidlets last week in school.

Julie, Abby looks adorable! I absolutely LOVE her shoes!!! They are so cute! I wish I could have gotten some like those when my girls were little. Somehow I don't think they'd appreciate them so much now. LOL :-)

War - My DD used Shutterfly for her wedding pics and made some really nice albums for family members.

Thanks all!!

Roxip, those are indeed squeaky shoes. They prove to be a wonderful thing when I let her out of her stroller in a store! (They are somewhat irritating at home. Though I could easily pop out the squeaker.) But I think they are just so darn cute. And plus she loves them. She loves anything that is an animal (especially kitties) and anything "baby," meaning anything that is either like a baby doll or anything that is a smaller (baby) size than normal. She even likes to wrap up small water bottles in little hand size towels and call them her baby... She is a girly girl, but then she loves to play with cars and trucks too!!

Another great picture, Julieboo. The camera just loves that kid. One of the cutest Santa pictures ever.

I finally got all the presents that need to be mailed out, and was able to pay parcel post - so much cheaper!

Finally we are going to decorate today! Maybe it'll start feeling like Christmas!

I work retail....in a dept that has the honor of setting up the trees in Sept.

Everyone who walks by says...."It is not even Halloween yet." or "Every year is earlier"

(It really is not)

As I open the ornaments to put on the trees, I remind myself that it is too early to be in the holiday spirit.

When it comes time to really feel like Christmas, I am already tired of it.

I tell you all this so that you believe me when I tell you how to get in the Christmas mood.

Do a good deed, share a smile, let someone in while driving. Give to a food bank, a toy drive, a person by the side of the road.

Let the person at the grocery store who has 3 things in ahead of your cartfull. (and be so very happy about everything you get to buy)

Smile at the sales clerk who is tired, notice those around you and do what you can to make it easier on them....(you know, the person at the grocery store who is obviously looking for something.....catch an eye and tell them where the marshmallow are....)

and last....drive home a different way and check out the christmas lights on a new street....

Great tips Christy.

I did wrap presents tonight after the kids went to bed. Not done with my shopping but at least I won't have everything piled up.

Today we went to Costco to food shop. With everyone home for 3 weeks, I have to really stock up on lunch foods and snacks. Also went to Walmart to pick up ink for the printer so I could print the stuff out for my aunts companions scrapbook and while we were there picked up bedding for Caleb (he got a "new" bed this week, but we'd already planned on getting him a new comforter.)

Tomorrow we'll finish up our shopping, Darren has a day off and the kids are in school, works great. Sis and I will be out Tuesday to do aunt's shopping for her and then it'll all be done. I'm looking forward to that!

Our Christmas activities this week include Caleb's Christmas concert (have a clothing question about that but I'll post it somewhere else) Thursday night and my middle niece's kindergarten class is putting on a Christmas show on Friday morning. My nephew is also coming over Tuesday afternoon and I'm thinking we may do some kind of handprint craft for his mommy and daddy for Christmas (he's two, paint on his hands is fun, lol.) I love that type of stuff more than just about anything.

Thanks, Nyheat. I need to practice every now and again, so I don't forget what to do. I'll post a couple more now that my tree is no longer naked finally. Almost all the ornaments are on. I'll do the remainder sometime this week.

I just wanted to thank those who gave me suggestions for the young lady I'm giving gifts to. I grabbed the pink wastebasket at Target (thanks hermie!), a real manicure set (from which I snagged the cuticle nippers since a 14 year old doesn't need those but I do), a few "grown-up" shades of nail polish and one funky sparkly one along with nail stickers and a little case to put it all in (thanks Costa!), a Burt's Bees gift set, a body wash and scrubbie gift set, a sketch pad and markers on sale at Michael's (thanks Wargod!), and a very hard-to-find non-slutty blouse and slacks in junior sizes. Oh, and the glow in the dark stars and planets stickers! I probably spent way too much money, but I'd rather spend on someone who has so little and has gone through so much at a young age than more crap for myself.

Yay Prisoner! She's going to be one very happy young lady!

Kc, you're tree is beautiful!

Darren and I finished most of our shopping today. Still have stocking stuffers for Caleb to find, something for my baby niece (she's too young for the jewelry and jewelry box,) and a couple things for Darren and that's it.

I came home and made the bookmarks for my nephews (they have dragon charms) and a necklace for Kota's bff and my oldest niece. Tomorrow sis and I have to shop for our aunt and I'll finish up my shopping then too and I can go back to focusing on everything else.
