December in this household is like a toliet. The money just goes in circles down the drain. To give you an idea of what I am talking about here's a little list...

Chris' Dad- 4th
Chris' Sister in Law- 15th
Chris-18th
Chris' older brother- 18th

My Dad-25th
My Dad's twin-25th....(REALLY sucks to be my dad!)

Thats a total of 27 presents plus we adopted a little boy to buy presents for as well! And we only have one income right now...sucky huh? Thankfully everyone know's we don't have much to give right now and we just do our best to get what we can. I am SO happy Ethan is too little to remember this x-mas cause he's getting PJ's and like 2 or 3 toys from us and "Santa". Not really what I imagined by kid's first Christmas to be like but he's loved more than anything in the world and that's all that really matters.
I became a wife on Aug. 22 2008. A mother on Sept. 4 2009. And now I am struggling with the realities of both and trying to balance my newfound life in WA as a stay-at-home mom (most of the time)and trying not to drive myself crazy missing my friends and family in AZ. Please follow along on our amusing and crazy ride called "Our Life"!

Anne- I totally wouldn't feel bad, We did the same for T- He has no idea right now. We got him 2-3 toys and honestly he didn't even start playing with them until he was 1, sooo.. Don;t feel bad at all.. give em some wrapping paper and he will be in heaven, T loved the krinkly noises it made.
