Re: QOTD Monday
- I have to get DH's stocking stuffers, and maybe one more smallish gift for him
- Order my mom's and brother's gifts, although I already know what I'm getting
- figure out what we're eating for Christmas Day
- figure out NYE plans
Overall, I think we're pretty well set, and don't expect to be stressed out over the next week. That is unless I remember something by reading other people's lists!
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
We already did Hanukah with B's family, and my family doesn't really do anything anymore since there are no kids. My list is super short:
1) Get present for my assistant. I already know what I'm getting her; I just need to go buy it;
2) Figure out what we're doing for NYE.
Let's see ... well, we still have to get ourselves out to Michigan. Once there, I have a bit of wrapping to do, but that shouldn't take too long. I also need to get to our gym to set up some sports massages for Josh; just a treat in addition to his personal training sessions. I also need to finalize some get-togethers in MI with a few friends.
Not too much to do. I can't wait to get on that plane Friday morning!
I have my gift list out in front of me as we speak!
I still need to finish up gifts for my dad, my step mom, FIL, MIL, Erin the housemate/border, my paternal granmother, Tim and Shannon and the girls.
Plus finish up picture's that we're gifting all the parents and grandparents.
Plus finish baking/packing the baking.
Phew.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
- decide which presents I'm giving niece and nephew for Christmas and wrap them. Their birthdays are end of April and end of May so I have bought enough presents for Christmas and their birthdays so I don't need to run around finding their birthday presents with a new born
- decide on the last part of my Dad's present. I think it's just going to be another gift card but I'm just figuring out from where
- look at what stocking stuffers I have for Mark and decide if I'm set. We aren't doing presents so just stockings pretty much just filled with candy.
I have so much to do.
I need to finish decorating the tree. I keep saying I am going to go downstairs and get the ornaments, but have yet to do so. Currently we only have the 2 (thanks to Neptoon Girl) on the tree.
I still need to finish Christmas shopping for my family and DH. Yes I am that girl. I have taken Thursday off, and plan on dropping the boys off at daycare then finishing my Christmas shopping.
Then I have all the wrapping to do.
-lots and lots of wrapping. DH said he'd do it while i was gone, but I sort of like doing the wrapping, even if it's terrible when I'm done.
-make ornaments for the grandparents. We're going to try and do acrylic paint on clear balls with Jackson's hands and then footprints in the clay and see what happens.
-baking cookies with everybody, maybe gingerbread house wars, but i doubt it.
-make wine basket for gift swap with my family. thank goodness for Yankee swap, or i'd have a ton of gifts to buy every year. this is $20 and done.
I think that's about it, so it shouldn't be too bad. For the most part, holidays are a ton of running around.
- cooking mainly for the next few days.
- I have to deliver some stuff I already have cooked.
- take the boys to see the christmas lights tomorrow night
- lots of wrapping to be done.
- i would like to get a few small things for DH for his stocking. I have him a couple of things but not everything I want him to have.
I have presents to wrap for our families, though I'm probably just going to throw them into gift bags since I have a million of them.
I had hoped to decorate more, but I guess that's not a top priority... I'll do it if I have time.
Baby #2: Surprise BFP 9.19.12, EDD 5.24.13, natural m/c 10.19.13 at 9w
I need to buy my dad's gift. I'll hopefully take care of this today.
I have to finish my wrapping (I'm still waiting for a few gifts to be delivered).
I have a little bit more baking to do and then I need to cook the dish that I'm taking for Christmas Eve dinner.
Nothing! But that's easy to say when you don't do anything for Christmas.
Oh, I guess I could say I have to do the grocery shopping for our Christmas Eve/Christmas Day dinners. It's going to just be the two of us, so I'm planning something fun to keep me entertained in the kitchen.
