Christmas Shopping, Card Making, Baking, Decorating...

18 days until Christmas and it hardly seems like enough time. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this time of year but for some reason this year I am just a little bit more overwhelmed than usual.
I still need to buy presents for 6 people (all of which are hard to buy for hence they are the ones left), stocking stuffers, revise the family cookbook, finish making Megan's wedding present (hellooo, that wedding was 2 weeks ago) and type our family Christmas letter. I got my photo cards from Heather Hales again, they turned out great!
I can't believe today is Friday. We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow (a family friend and Jack's buddy is turning 3) and hopefully I can pick up the rest of my Christmas decorations from the storage unit so I can at least have ONE thing done! I'm also picking up some fabric since I have a couple gifts to sew ( such a glutton for punishment).
Last night we got Jack's gift, a little toy 4 wheeler. Jeremy would like to get him a little REAL 4 wheeler, which I'm sure will happen someday, just not when he's 2! He'll love it though.
I'll post pics this weekend once I have the decorating done. It's been fun to see everyone's trees and decor;)

18 days. Crazy!!!
I don't feel as stress this year. I order some gifts for the kids on-line. We will be going in a fun trip for christmas. So i really don't have to worry about to much gifts. I do need to get some gifts for some of my friends and family. But that is about all.



Don't stress to much, and enjoy this time of year :)

When I was a kid it seemed like Christmas would never get here, and now it always comes WAY too fast! I am way behind too, but that is not unusual, I procrastinate everything. How fun for Jack to get a little 4-wheeler. Tyler is obsessed with his and rides it everywhere. I'll see you tomorrow at the party!

I also am a glutten for punishment and feel very much in your shoes. I just happen to be very undecisive and I am a procrastinator and will probably be up all night on Christmas eve still trying to decide what to make!

I can't believe how fast it's creeping up this year. Tyson got his first real 4 wheeler for Christmas when he was 3 1/2, they are too cute when they are that little riding...

I spent a full day on Sat. putting together a pile of toys for the D.I. to make room for the new ones under the tree. Seems like the things you own end up owning you. Happy Holidays Hustons

You are overwhelmed because you are growing a little baby, in addition to all the regular life things! Just take it easy, and do a little bit at a time to tackle the huge project that the holidays are.

I can't wait to see your decor pics!

Have a great day!

Preston would love to get Trenton a real 4 wheeler too! That is so funny. I bet he'll love the toy one though.
