Christmas Time Already???
Well John is gone again unfortunately. He will be gone for two weeks this time and will be home the first week of December after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and all my decorating moments. I just can't get into decorating like I normally do. It is just such a hassle. My tree was suppose to be put up this weekend but it is still sitting here in the box waiting on me to decide to get off my lazy tail and do it. It is just shocking that it is already Tuesday afternoon. I just don't see where the time goes. Anyway about the tree. My tree and mantle piece are always just absolutely gorgeous and they might eventually be this year. I just do not like fluffing this huge tree and if I get the thing out of the box and the lights don't work I will be fit to be tied and will probably just go get a live tree and say screw the big one. I didn't want a pre lit tree but being that it is like 10 ft high not to mention how round I could get the pre lit cheaper than buying the lights. Anyway I say every year that I am going to just do the christmas balls on the big tree and put the cutsy ornaments on another. Well maybe next year cause this year it is just going to be one. I am not up to doing two trees. That can be the one Braedon helps with next year. I also can't decide about shopping on Black Friday. I have always always loved it and wouldn't miss it for the world. I am just not there this year. Braedon would be easy enough to take but I just don't want him out and about that day. Granny Jayi has claimed she will keep him but that is just so early to leave him with someone not to mention I know mama needs her sleep and her peace. There is nothing I need to go fight the crowds for anyway cause I have no idea what in the world I am going to buy anyone at all this year. Everyone is so hard to buy for because there is no one that needs anything including myself. I have told Johnathan that I want a tri colored minature shih'tzu but I really don't that is just something else for me to take care of. I have no idea what to get Braedon... NEW MOMS... ANY SUGGESTIONS. He needs nothing at all and he will not know what is going on by any means. Anyhow I am just rambling on and on while he is sleeping. He has no cares in the world. He will get his first set of shots on Monday and I am dreading it probably because after that I have to go back to work which stinks. Fortunatetly Braedon will be right there with me but I still don't want to go back. Maybe Johnathan will quickly decide that I need to stay at home and raise kids real soon. Landon and Savanah are suppose to be coming to spend the afternoon with us tomorrow.. YAY... I am so excited. They have not been over in a long time. Hopefully we will have fun doing something. I might just save the tree for them two to put up... Maybe they will like that. Who knows what we might end up doing. This weekend I think I have officially decided that I am leaving early Saturday morning and going to spend the day in Memphis with Nichole and her family. Mama is going to ride along I hope to make it a little easier. I can't wait to see her. It seems like it has been forever and a day. Anyway that is enough of my life in the moment. Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!!!!!

I think you need to consider my suggestion for Christmas. As for lights for the tree I would buy the net lights, easy and extremely fast!! I don't know what you are waiting on not decorating, the tree isn't going to fluff itself. :) I can't wait for this weekend. It has been forever since we saw each other last, at least 4 months. I'm not going to take Briley, he can meet Braedon at Christmas. Also, start decorating because you said we could all get together at your house with all the kids. If you decide you don't want to do that then mom said we can do it at hers. We need to discuss this soon possibly, this weekend. I will give you a call possibly tomorrow if not then Thursday night. Love Always!
I got my Snow Village up this past weekend (Addison loves all the lights) and will get the tree and rest of the decorations up next week. Lee doesn't want ours up this early even though our neighbor has had theirs up for 2 weeks! I completely agree with where does all my time go when I am at home all day!!! I know you are probably thinking how will I get everything done and work too, but it will happen! As for Christmas present suggestions, buy things that you think that you will need (or buy anyway) throughout the year or at least before his first birthday - for example anything you think you might would use during the summer (Maggie is getting an outdoor toddler swing and a couple of toys that will be developmental/helpful in sitting up and crawling/walking - just a few things we don't already have - which doesn't leave much HA HA!), but definitely don't spend much because they certainly don't have a clue and all of the family will end up going overboard anyway and then you will have to find a place to put all of it! Can't wait to get together during Christmas!
Ali Grace got an excersaucer for her 1st Christmas. She was Braedon's age. We would wrap a blanket around her and she loved it. It played music and it was bright. Don't stress over the decorations or gifts. I remember feeling overwhelmed Ali Grace's 1st Christmas. Everything works out. Give Braedon a hug for me!
