While I won't get my decorations put up or break out the Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, I see nothing wrong with getting some shopping done a bit early. That's what we did yesterday, and it was super fun to shop for our little boy. It'll be a small Christmas this year. We got him some books and a cute musical sea-turtle toy. It was a lot of fun taking him to the mall though and letting him watch everything that was going on. He even got to meet Santa!
He did really well. He wasn't upset or anything, and Santa was really great. (Believe it or not, the beard was actually real!)
Last night was also our first date night since Emmett came. We have just been so busy and money has been tight, that it unfortunately hasn't been possible for us to go until now. We went to Cafe Rio and then went to see Breaking Dawn, Part 1. That was my least favorite of the Twilight books, but I have to admit that the movie was pretty good. More exciting than the book for sure.
Now it's time for me to come down off of my Christmas shopping high and focus on Thanksgiving. I'm definitely looking forward to the food! (But that might just be because I haven't eaten breakfast yet and I'm hungry.)
I want to squeeze those round rosy cheeks! Too cute! Sounds like you are well on your way to being ready for the holidays! I need to get in gear! (When it is in the 70's I have a hard time thinking it is time to Christmas shop) but you have inspired me to get a move on!
