Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

I can't believe that 2011 is almost at an end!!! Crazy!!! It's been a pretty good year if I do say so myself!! We had a few great mini-vacays...got to spend lot's of quality time together and got oh-so-many pics (which I really planned on sharing with y'all, but never quite got around to it!!). I really couldn't have asked for a better year and I'm sure hoping that 2012 will be just as fantastic and filled with many more happy memories with my lil' fam!!!

I'm finally done my Christmas shopping (I think), just have to wrap 2 more gifts!! Woohoo!!!! Then I plan on kicking back, putting my feet up and snuggling up in my new bed with the hubby!! (we have yet to try out the new mattresses...can't wait!!). Afterall, it is Christmas Eve Eve!!

I truly hope that you all have had a terrific year and that you have the happiest of Christmas' with you're families and friends!! There's nothing better than creating these memories each and every year and then looking back at them and realizing just how great life is and how truly lucky we are.

                                                                                           

To Spend or Not to Spend...............

As our girlie gets older, I'm finding it harder and harder to get her gifts for Christmas!!! I thought that it would actually be easier to shop for her, but I was sadly mistaken!!! They are much more particular about what they want and what they will wear.....what is "cool" and what is NOT!!! I N-E-V-E-R thought it would be this hard!!! But thankfully, her mom and I get along great and we are able to "discuss" what her likes and dis-likes are!! Phew!!!

 I am almost done shopping for her!!!! I think she'll be happy with what she gets!! I'm trying soooooo hard to make the right choices and get her age appropriate things!!! This whole Tweens thing is a little complicated!! haha!!!!! But I'm positive that she'll be pleased!!!!

  We've decided that we aren't going to spend a fortune this year...everyone has everything that they want(including our girlie), so this year?!?!?! I hope you're happy with what you get!!! hehe!!

  I hope you are all enjoying being out and shopping for x-mas...it's alot of fun, but can also be alot of work!!!! I say let's try and enjoy every minute...even the stressful ones and make the best of it!!!!! Family ROCKS......and I wouldn't give up all the shopping stress and spending for nothing if it means I get to see a huge smile on their faces !!!!
