I am not feeling the love for Christmas shopping this year. I have only got my neice done and a little for Keegan and Anika. The malls are starting to get crazy and I don't feel like spending a ton of cash. Not to mention that when I go out shopping I usually have a three year old and a four month old with me so taking time to find stuff becomes alot of work

How is everyone doing? What are you getting everyone?

The girls are done i'm happy to say. Unfortunately no body else is.
Kat is getting : Bratz Salon, 2 packs of barbie clothes, an outfit, and an Arthur DVD.
Ellie is getting : Power touch book, Floor colouring sheet, match box cars, and peek a blocks/roll a rounds.

For everyone else.. My parents are getting a high thread count sheet set. Dh's mom is getting a $50 "gift certificate" (basically a shopping day with us) and dinner out. Dh's grandparents are getting a DVD player. The two little girls on my side (1yr and 1.5yr) are getting a small toy and a book. The older two girls (4 and 7yrs) are getting a Bratz Salon (sharing it). The two girls on dh's side (10 & 11yrs) are getting Canadian Idol stuff (if we can find a DVD that would be great).
And then pictures for everyone.

So the list is done, just need to buy it.. I think most of it will get done next Sunday after dh gets back from his business trip.

Mine is just about done ...yee hawwwwwwwwww .. I just came from the Mall and it was shear madness ... Sears has on a mega sale and therefore I just bought more clothes for Boog ... I do love Christmas though and I can't wait for it to arrive!!!!

Erica, take my advice...leave the kids with Curtis or someone. It makes it SO much easier. I refuse to take the kids with me anymore.

As for how I'm doing, not too badly actually. I have to put in a Sears catalog order (should be doing that now, but am here instead ) for a bunch of things and I've pretty much got the rest. I have a pretty small group to buy for though, too.
