so lazy, haven't even STARTED on presents this yr... hmmm i have 4 nieces to buy for, 1 nephew and 4 brothers plus A.
Wont do adult pressies this yr as #2 is due, hoping to have the house started etc...
Not long at all now, best get lay-bying or grabbing bargains... ARGH!
I know i want to get A a smart trike and possibly some Wiggles/Hi-5 DVD's and that will be it for her!
Hope #2's not here b4 x-mas otherwise will have to do a quick dash to wrap some pressies, well atleast from her big sister.
Saw the cutest BIG SISTER hanging ornament in K-mart or target yesterday but didn't get it as she wont be a big sister yet... well i hope she wont... lol
how is eveyrone going? we started unpacking Christmas stuff on Saturday - and now have at least two benches ready to go with decos. the table is covered in stuff, and there is still more to unpack - another ummmmmm 2 150L tubs at least - plus the tree and train! oops!
it's looking awesome - been a bit creative and made levels on top of the bench so that different things show up and don't get lost
DD has only been able to get her hands on one thing (norty daddy gave it to her and let her chew it grrrrr) - but she is fascinated cos it plays music!
hi everyone tree went up about 1 month ago all the deco's are one except for balls. Been thinking and planing food just bought the cheesecakes and danish and crumbles they have had recently on sale and starting to stock cool drink up too have already bought some of the chocolate for stocking. we did yesterday pull out all kids gifts and count them up and see who was missing out and who not im stuck for dd who is 11 going on 15 not so much with the attitude just with her likes. I though maybe a cindy lauper dvd as she loves her and the bangles.
i also while separating gifts and checking what i had wrote a list for batteries to buy rechargeable for them.
was thinking prolly lots of pre made food this year i dunno.
So who has gone out looking at lights yet? We're going on Wednesday night, I was thinking Christms Eve but I want the munchkins to sleep well cos it's going to be a big day!
Our pressies are all done, just waiting on one to arrive from America for my brother, ordered it on Nov 23rd, so I'm a bit worried. I wrapped them all last night & felt a bit stingy cos cash flow isn't great at the moment, so Zander & I will be cooking up a storm & adding things to presents this week. Santa has done well but still needs one more thing for Miss J & he's finished.
I am soooo hanging out for my big piece (or three lol) of turkey. I have to say it's the absolute best part of Christmas! I'm also planning mocktails for the day YUUMMMO! I'm sure Zander will enjoy them with me too!
Pressies are all done, Xmas lights have been lookeed at twice so far, but we'll have to go again- ds is obsessed with them.
Now I just have to sort out the logistics. So far it looks like dinner Xmas Eve, b'fast Xmas Day, then lunch, then dinner, then lunch and dinner on Boxing Day. So much family, so little time I think it might be time to negotitate with the MIL- surely I don't need to see her twice on Xmas day????
But at least there is no cooking for me, apart fromt he b'fast bbq. I have been so slack this year- no handmade pressies, no baking...
