Christmas...i LOVE christmas. I do declare its my favorite holiday. the music, the lights, the weather, the cheer....i love everything about it. This year is Maddies first christmas....even though its her first, Jae and I have not planned to get her anything. She doesnt know what a gift is, and I figure she doesnt really need anything anyway.

Also, we have been asked by so many people what to buy for her. I honestly dont even know what a 6 month old would need, so its been hard. I did tell my SIL that I wanted MAddie to have a push buggy and she purchased one for her yesterday. yay!


I did have an amazon wish list of things I eventually wanted to get Maddie so I guess I could also use that but its just a bunch of little items here and there. Not sure anyone wants to get them since people tend to want to buy 1 bigger gift. (Not that I need a big gift! I'm out of space!)

As for Jae and I, well I asked him for my gift this year. I wanted the Beaba baby cooker bc we started Maddie on cereal on 11/28! yay!


I have wanted this machine since before Maddie was born. Jae insisted he not get this for me for xmas, since its not really for me and that we could just buy it as a normal purchase, but i dont want anything else! So he picked it up for me. woo hoo! cant wait to use it.

As for Jae, I got him a flip video.


He loves taking video of maddie and is always using up all my space on my camera. Thats why i upload my photos so quickly - I have to do a dump out of my camera cuz all the space is taken by videos taken by him going "say ahpah...say ahpah" to Maddie who is just staring at him like hes crazy. I also wanted to get him the Keurig coffee maker, but who was I kidding. I would really be buying it for myself...so i just told him i wanted it and that I was going to buy it. haha.

the nephews and nieces are tough ones to buy for. Philip has given me a few things he wanted but they are all expensive. I plan to either get him a ripstick or a ps3 game. Ryan will get beyblades stuff and harry potter lego if i can find it. He also needs a bday gift too! ARGH! Jake gets an easel, as asked for my his mom. The 2 girls - NO CLUE! Need a list from SIL asap.

The rest of my family is even tougher. I have NO idea what to get anyone. I have a lot of empty spaces on my xmas list.

Also another conundrum - do i buy my cousins kids stuff? If I buy for one, i have to buy for all? I'm so scared someone will come to my house with a gift for maddie, and I wont have anything for their kid. What to do? Help!
