Okay, I know I'm getting really bad at blogging. I'll try to do some real blogging later today. Thought I should get the list for Christmas out there. The deal this year is the same as last year. Everybody gets one person and the kids are there for everybody to buy for if they choose to. We drew names out of a bucket yesterday at mom and dad's so no one can accuse me of matching people up this year. lol! Guys drew for guys and girls for girls. Here it is:

gifter- reciever

Jeremy- Nathan

Dad- Jason

Jason- Dad

Josh- Jeremy

Nathan- Josh

Joy- Jenny

Jenny- Joanne

Joanne- Jilli

Jilli- Mom

Mom- Joy


I think the amount last year was thirty? Does everybody think that works again? More or less? I'll be thinking about what I want Joy. I'm going to try to get my Christmas shopping done before December. We'll see if I make it! I'm guessing Joanne is going to make up an amazon wish list again? As far as my kids go for gifts. Alex is easy to buy for, but clothes are also appreciated for both of them :) Alex is wearing 3T in everything. I like the adjustable waist for pants for my skinny boy. Addison will be getting into 12 month and is starting to run out of clothes that were given to us. I have a hard time buying clothes for her when she'll grow out of them so fast! Also, Addison doesn't have very many toys of her own. I don't even know if she would play with them if she had them though. She loves anything that belongs to her big bubs!

Thanks Jenny! Alright Jillian & Nathan, add some more stuff to your wishlists!!! :) You can add things from other sites using the universal wish list button; if you can't find it, just type that into the search on the amazon site. Also, new thing w/Amazon! You can take things off of peoples' lists that you have purchased elsewhere. Pretty cool feature. I've been adding new stuff to mine, and Jeremy & Hayley have their own that are linked through mine as well.

Thanks for all the ideas for the kids, Jenny! Hey Joy, any stuff that would be good presents for Hannah? Clothes, shoes, toys, books, etc.?

For Hayley, you know she loves anything girly--dresses, dolls, etc. She is wearing 4T, but on a few pieces they are 5T due to sizing differences, and also dresses, to be long enough. Movies are a really good idea for her too--she has one Barbie movie (Fairytopia) that she really likes, so something like that would be good for more variety.

For Ada...not sure 'cause she has all of big sisters' stuff. If you do get clothes, 18 mo. would be safe, as she is wearing 12 to 18 mo. stuff right now. 24 mo. summer clothes might be a good idea.

I just went through and update all of our wish lists, and made one for Ada. So now at least I have ideas for you guys if you need them. Hey Jenny, since you're buying for me, I thought I'd point out that some of my stuff listed has specific instructions on the right hand side (sizes, colors, etc.) .

Ok, Jenny, I wanna get done early too, so let me know what you want!

For Hannah...clothes are always good, 6 month in Carters for warm stuff...probably 3-6 month in other brands, and I'll try to put some stuff on a wish list for her!

Ok, I added a list for Hannah with some books and toys I thought she might enjoy....but you guys know what babies like....right now she's into things that make music and stuff that has that crinkly-fabric.

You all are just too hilarious. You don't keep who has who a secret?

I didn't even know you did this until I walked past the fridge and saw the list. Joanne, I will have to think about what I want. I want the Sims 3 game but am probably going to cave and get it for myself before Christmas. I guess I should go on Amazon and see what is on my list now and what I want.
