[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 392702, member: 4264"] Wow Hound! That is a impressive feat you accomplished (Insert major applause!!!). Your grands are going to have a wonderful Christmas :) I hope you post some pics in their dressy outfits. Nothing melts me more than kids dressed up for holidays. Does something to my mommy heart!!! My list above pretty much sums up my purchases except for Matt who needs one more gift and it looks like it will be a dvd player for his room, $25 at Walmart. Love Christmas sales!!!! A couple members of extended family sent $ to into the pot for the kids gifts, so they each get 2 great gifts this year! No "filler" presents, really we backed out of the plan, too costly and usually they end up barely used up anyhow. mother in law sent $ for kids and for S/O and I and we combined to get a "family" gift, the Kinect for $139. So both kids have personal things they will get a ton of use out of, 2 things each plus stocking to open.S/O gets the watch and I already found out accidentally that I'm getting a 4 piece set of china teacups (I'm a tea freak who drinks them out of coffee mugs lol). THe kinect will be the gift that we all can enjoy together as a group. So not a pile of gifts going under that tree but boy are my kiddos going to love what they do get. I was thrilled when mother in law and the 2 out of town cousins asked if they could opt out of shipping gifts (costly) and contribute a cash amount to the shopping kitty. I realized I forgot to buy wrapping paper today, and I realized I have no place at all to hide that rock band box. easy child hasn't seen it since she's at her dads for the night, but gosh it's got to be wrapped or hidden tomorrow lol.
