[rccresswell]

Hey all

Are you all ready for christmas?????  During christmas it is summer here :(  I would LOVE to experience a white christmas!!!  Maybe one year :)

Have you planned anything for your babies first christmas.  We bought our kids a cubby house (just one off ebay because they are so expensive)  It is sitting in our yard dismantled - I can't wait to put it up.

We going to my sis for breakfast and then my inlaws for lunch/dinner.  We are going to open the presents as soon as the kids wake up in the morning.  We have a tradition where we put our tree up on the first of December - I so can't wait!!!!

My kids aren't getting much else for christmas.  Maybe some clothes but no toys!!!!! or just a few for the cubby house.  I have bought millions of toys for my kids and end up throwing them out because the kids wreck them.

Well kids are screaming house is a mess so I better get sorted.

Amy has every toy she could wish for, fortunate or not (not sure which yet i'll find out in a couple of years lol) between me and my mom (noone else gets her anything) she's spoiled rotten, every trip to the store she walks (actually rolls in the shopping cart lol) out with something new, whether it costs 1 dollar or 20, but hey if i can do it why not? so for christmas.. im gonna get her clothes, a girl cant have too many clothes and she outgrows them soooo fast... shes already hitting the 18 month mark and hses only 9 months.. and im sure she will get lots of stuff from family for both christmas and her birthday in feb so i dont want to over do it..

Dh and I are planning to spend Christmas Day at Disneyland, and although everyone says she won't enjoy it, its just memories for Dh and I :]. On the 24 we will celebrate at my mom's house, I will get there nice and early to help her prepare all the goodies we are used too, and since Sophia is their first grandchild and the first baby in a looong time I really don't know what she will get.  I will probably just get her, her Christmas outfit, since she already has more than enough toys laying around the house lol

All of our kids get tons of crap for christmas.  My dhs family goes way overboard and dh does to.  His family buys so much I take some back to the store and get stuff they neef(i know that sounds bad but they dont miss it!!)and put some up in the storage building to play later.  If we kept everything it wouldn't fit in our house.  We as kids only got a few gifts and it was stuff we needed so it drives me insane with amounts they get!!!  As far as anything special we r just gonna do the usual christmas type stuff.  I am actually gonna have a christmas party this year don't know how that's gonna go as I've never had a big one before.

Well, it's my twins 2nd christmas (born december 24, 2010!), but first one where we can really celebrate! Between grandparents & us, the babies will definitely have a memorable "first REAL christmas!" as I call it! The two big things they're getting this year are a little tykes slide & a red wagon. Plus other random stuff. I'm super excited just to have so much to celebrate & hopefully they'll have a blast too!

In the midst of all this, I'm also getting prepped for their 1st birthday! I get double whammed with their birthday & christmas, so I've been planning & shopping for almost a month now.
