That's right - you only have about 70 more shopping days until Christmas! Maybe this season with all of the financial and economic drama people will try to focus a little more on the important things like snuggling with loved ones and enjoying the twinkling lights on trees. I'll be sure to try and focus on the important things but I also am the first to admit that I love to get caught up in the shopping, decorating, party, wrapping frenzy! Today marked the beginning of the season. Around six am I was online looking for THE must-have for Christmas. I found it, had a calm feeling and thought "I'll have Blake get it online - I have to go to work". Well two hours later I had clammy hands, shallow breathing as I checked site after site online seeing "out of stock", "no longer available", "SOLD OUT". I couldn't believe I didn't jump on this early in the morning when I had a chance. I envisioned ebay bids three times the amount and numerous calls to stores leading up to Christmas on shipment days. So I called to whine to my mom and an hour later she found it! In person at the actual store. So now I have one gift done and I (and even my mom) didn't have to fight anyone for it! Season's Greetings!!
Don't tell Luce!
(thanks again mom!)

Codi, The only problem is I feel like I stole the "I found it" excitement from you. It reminded me of the days when I went everywhere to find the perfect cabbage patch doll that looked just like you and had a cute name to match. But, I'm sure there will be something else to hunt in the near future. It was fun, thanks for sharing. Love, Mom
Although I can't say I approve, and am actually quite frightened of, the talking Elmo doll... I am happy it was found because it will undoubtedly entertain Lucy for a few days. :)
Codi Leigh,
I love you....you're a lover of life and are the only woman I know personally who is excited for Christmas in mid October! If I had Baby Bug, I'd be excited too.
Love,
Sandy
I would love to be a fly on the wall for Lucy's Christmas this year and see her reactions... remember to take videos. I swear I laugh like Elmo now sometimes, it is freaky! Be safe on your trip you guys.
