Christmas is only 13 days away!!!

First I want to express how happy I am that hubby is home for Christmas this year! He has put up the lights outside the house. We got the tree up last week as well. The kids helped decorate it and it looks great!
Mother-in-law came over to watch football the day after Thanksgiving. It was nice to see them get together. Her team won so of course hubby threatened to leave her on the corner for my bro-in-law to pick up. :)
I am just about done with my shopping.
Elliebear has a charm bracelet with 3 charms, a stuffed frog and a new 18 inch gold chain for her gold frog pendant. She has a purse I crocheted for her along with lipgloss and candy inside. She got a pair of those tennis shoes that 'shape you up' while you walk. She has been driving me nuts for those!
Cici has a cool bag she can keep her art supplies in, Baby Phat cologne and lip gloss. I am really puzzled as to what to get her. She is so picky so I think gift cards may be in order.
They are both getting ipods from bro and sis-in-law for Christmas. NICE! I also got them a new DVD player for their bedroom. The old one is broken.
Now the little ones have been fun to shop for. Bubba has a cute stuffed puppy and all the girls got those 'fur real' walking kittens. Bubba has a truck with blocks in it and 5 outfits. She has 2 outfits and a little people play set. Princess and Bruiser have Vtech laptops, really nice ones. I also got them the VMotion game system. Educational video games to go with it. Princess has the whole Disney princess doll collection. Bruiser has 3 stuffed frogs, a frog robe, pjs and slippers, and a purse I crocheted for her as well. And she got an Elmo outfit.
I am basically picking up stuff as I go along from here on.
I crocheted a blanket and hat in the Auburn University colors for mother in law.
Work is difficult. The people I talk to bring me down most days. But I am getting along with all my new tub buddies from our office merger. So it's ok. I have met some nice new people. I am just looking forward to vacation the week after Christmas!
Hubby had drill this weekend. He had to exercise! HA! Too funny! We are all doing well though. I am enjoying the family unit!
