Fall is my favorite time of year, all the festivities and holidays leading up to the grand finale - Christmas. This year I started shopping early, thank goodness too because shopping while stressed is the worst position to put me in and I end up spending WAY too much on gifts and they are way less thoughtful because of them being bought last minute. I've learned a new thing this year which will stay with me, timing is everything. I won't share my list, because that would defeat the purpose of giving gifts but I will say this, I've fully taken advantage of the sales plus coupons and also free giveaways to the fullest extent. Now that does NOT mean my gifts aren't thoughtful because of the amount of money I saved, I feel they are meaningful gifts where time was spent wondering if a certain person would enjoy a gift and also with the added bonus of being smart with my money. This Christmas is a very tight one, we are flying to Utah to be with my family this year and we needed to buy A.J. a front facing car seat plus a bunch of little things that add up to big numbers. I'm writing this because I wanted to express that I'm proud of myself, Christmas doesn't have to be stressful and I have been working hard to make sure it isn't.
Todd and I took more pictures of A.J. and Lauren with a professional camera and editing equipment. I'll post them next time when Todd is done editing. I'll say this much...they are just so darn cute!
