Christmas already?

Yesterday we carved pumpkins
Today we heard Christmas music

What happened to Thanksgiving?

Wal-mart has already turned their garden center into a Christmas display

Trees, cards, gift wrap, ornaments and lights

Hobby Lobby has also been filled to the brim with Christmas decor

Honestly, I can't help but get a little excited

My friend and I just planned our annual Christmas shopping trip

I can't wait! I only get to see her about once a year and we spend ALL DAY together

I had a $10 gift certificate to Hallmark burning a hole in my pocket
so I bought 4 rolls of Christmas gift wrap

Some people have a shoe fetish, I have a gift wrap fetish (no joke)

I am already thinking about making holiday throw pillows

What do you think?

The boys and I have been to Toy Land countless times to make wish lists

Speaking of wish lists-

Can't my children be 2 again so I can shop in the Little Tike and Fisher Price aisle?

Spencer wants a BB gun
(You're going to shoot your eye out)

I'm not sure how I feel about this yet

With daddy in the military and a Grandpa that has a full gun safe,

what else would a 9 year old boy want?

Parker wants EVERYTHING
Good thing he has a birthday 8 days before Christmas
He circled everything he wants in the Toy Land ad
This made me laugh

I told ya he wants EVERYTHING
He's wants everything from a doll house to WWE action figures

I am thankful that I have already started my lists and my shopping
but the lists keep getting longer

As I was walking through Wal-mart today,
I saw a big box filled with Christmas Cd's
I LOVE Christmas music
I of course sifted through it
but didn't buy any

It won't be long and the hubby will be working like a maniac
hanging Christmas lights outside
I like things simple
A candle in each window is beautiful
But he enjoys having the brightest house on the block
so I let him do his thing
Chip's ultimate dream would be to have lights flashing to the beat of Christmas music

I'm getting excited but promised myself that the tree wouldn't go up until Black Friday
