One thing I wish would happen is my brothers and I all go in with each other on gifts for the other couples. Like my hubby and I and one brother and the wife buy something for the other brother and wife. That would make it easy because you would have someone else to share [...]
I forgot to say the birthday gifts we picked out were a huge hit! The bike we gave our daughter, she loved it! And the Spiderman computer has been played with at least five days a week. It’s not as big of a hit as the Barbie computer, but once he gets used to it [...]
Since we might be able to be around family this year for the holiday season, I’ve already started my Christmas shopping. I usually try to start in the summer anyway, you can find great deals depending on what you are looking for. I’ve picked up a few things for my nephews - toys that are [...]

This past weekend we went out and about finishing up our holiday shopping. I have still stuck to my list and we were looking for the little things that I needed - mainly, cookie decorations for the family gifts.
We stopped at Ross’ - and say what you will, but that is a great store. I [...]
