Well, as of last night I have finished the Christmas shopping. . . for the kids. We have actually made decent progress with the rest of the family but it is such a relief to have the kids done. I did a lot of shopping online and bought a few gifts on Ebay also. Marty finished up the stocking stuffers yesterday at Cracker Barrel. No laughing, they have some great things.I didn’t want to have to face the mall after Thanksgiving unless absolutely necessary so the kids and I went to Opry Mills last night while Marty was at work and did a little bit of shopping. It’s amazing how good the kids can be when they have the promise of a cookie hanging over their heads. I know some love the thrill of the deal and the craziness of the mall but I guess working retail for so many years has tainted me. For all of you hitting the stores at 4:00 am, good luck and I will be dreaming about you as I am snug in my bed fast asleep.

I love the mall and I love to shop, but I'm with you about the crowds and craziness - someone else can take my place in line before the sun comes up.

Hi Robyn! This is Ashley Henson from Clog'n FX...a blast from the past! I was googling things for FX and found your blog! Your kids are beautiful and I can't believe how big Abby is!! I just wanted to say hi! (P.S. I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and cloggers just came on...wierd.)
Our retail days definitely killed the holiday shopping season for us. I rarely walk into a mall these days. Maybe once a year and only by force.
So glad I can read your blog when I get the chance to see how things are going.
The kids look sooooo cute! Holy Mini-Marty's!!!
i can't believe you are done shopping for the kids. impressive. i don't think that will ever happen for me. i just can't get moving that quick, its not in my blood!! but good for you...and i can't wait to see all those christmas lights in your lawn when we come!!
