With the snow yesterday,Jeff decided his car wouldn't get him to work, so he stayed home with Alaina and I. This of couse meant Christmas shopping! Yay! We went to the mall until Alaina got too tired to function politely, and then Mommy got to come back and finish the job! I'm so excited to be close to done this early in the year! All that is left are my parents and the grandmothers! This is going to be great! If I get myself in gear, I'll even get the presents wrapped tonight! Jeff is incharge of getting a few things for his Dad yet and the Dangler grab bag gift. I think I'll wait for the day after Christmas sales to see what I can get for mine. Yay!
I have to ask the Mommies a question, how much do you spend on your kid when they are under the age of three at Christmas? Alaina will probably understand a little better what is going on this year (no tears hopefully). But honestly, how much does one shell out for gifts? Its tough for me to decide, because I always remember getting what seemed like a lot of gifts when I was little, Of course I can only barely remember Christmas when I was three, so only Nana and Papa can tell me for sure what I got.
p.s. regarding pictures, I'll try to get that pic of Alaina feeding bear up tonight, but no promises Nana!

There wasn't a spending limit in my house when there was only one little one. I got what I saw and thought she couldn't live without. And believe me.... that was a lot. Not to mention everyone else did the same thing!!! LOL!!! Spend on, Santa.... spend on!!!
You got one gift from Mom, one from Dad, one from Santa, one from Brett, one from Scott.........no limit you probably got a doll, a purse, and some jammies also some Fisher Price toy...........I have no memory of that Christmas.......oh yeah, you got a Smurf!!!
When Brenna was that age, we blew a big amount on her kitchen (Santa, I mean, blew a big amount). But it was an "investment" in many happy years to come. This year, for Mason, I think all of his gifts came somewhere in the $100-$150 range, trying to be more budget-wise. And there was nothing BIG that he wanted or needed. I know it will get more and more expensive. She won't have a clue what you spend, get her what you think she'll like and what you want her to have.
