Christmas Planning

So the planning for Christmas begins. I'd like to have it ALL done by Thanksgiving. This year we are spending Xmas in Memphis, so for my family gifts for the times apart we are going to donate to a charity. This year we decided to donate to cancer research in honor of my SIL's sweet mother! She just found out she has lung cancer, and I don't really have much to share but we are constantly praying and thinking of her and everyone during this time of unknown. Heartbreaking, since we just saw her over our vacation to Destin. :-(

After much thought we finally came to a decision on budget. 1 large gift, new pjs, and a few small items. So what are those items?!

1. Fisher-Price Power Wheels Lil' Quad. The theme doesn't matter, just one for the best price, but there is Spiderman, Toy Story, or solid no theme ones.

2. Melissa and Doug puzzle I purchased at the sale last weekend. I might even get the puzzle organizer too, because they make one now for the big knob puzzles.

3. Play rug with roads and 2 new cars. Doesn't every little boy need this?!

If I could find a inexpensive pair of cowboy boots that fit my little man's feet I would say that would definitely be gift #4. So I will try to find that if not....then....that small gift is still up in the air. But how cute would cowboy boots be! I just picture him just in a diaper and them on. Precious!! Ugh I hope I can find some to fit those chunky feet.

My niece, Harlee, I got her a baby doll and crib. What girl doesn't need that??!! The crib was natural wood, but I know her and sis' room has white furniture, so I painted it to match. Debating if I want to paint some decorative detail on the end...I even made the precious bedding for the crib with some fabric I had laying around. She's gonna LOVE it! :-) I love it!

My niece, Lily, I'm thinking of getting her a dollhouse....but I still have another month I can plan :-) So many ideas still running through my head.

For Wes' parents and Wes I'm still thinking....they are the hard ones...

But I did tell Wes what I want for Xmas! A new laptop bag! I desperately need one with more pockets. So I will be on the hunt for one.
