Christmas Time!

Well, we are almost there- Christmas is about a month away, and I am not ready at all!!! We just got the tree up this weekend, and my colours this year are brown and green. I seem to recall having more decorations than I found, so either I am mistaken, or they lost some boxes....not totally sure!

Anyways, here are a few pics of the tree....I need to get some ribbon in a brown I think, to finish it off. And we put the tree in the basement this year in the family room, so it touches the ceiling....so no angel, or star. I think a big bow or flower arrangement like this. Any ideas?

So far we have all the gifts for the kids done. We are not buying stuff for each other, since Scott got a leather chair, and I got a sofa. And Scott also bought a new car, a 99 Cavelier. It's for work. He got it for a great price too - $2000 bucks, and it only has 170,000kms on it. Not too bad for a newer vehicle. Everything else in that price range was a money pit for sure.

He just got a $2500 bonus for his year end review, so I guess that pays for the car, and the rest of the gifts we need to buy!

We bought Hayden`s gift this year. Hope he likes it....can`t let you all know what it is though, since his mommy reads this from time to time!

Graedin was really hard to buy for since he is only 2 months old. But I thought of a great idea. A look and find blanket. One of the mommies at my mommy group had one. It was a great idea, and was wonderful to have since there are about 9 babies on the floor!

When the baby is older, you can play games like Do you see the tractor? You use bright fabrics with pictures, and bright colours and it is a great little thing to tote around to Babba and Opa's or friends places. I already picked up some fabric for Graedy's- some trucks and such on one, solid blue, green with circles and some other cute ones....so we will see what happens with that!

Now I just need to find my sewing machine....!
