The excitement increases

as there are only two more sleeps. TWO MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!!!!! lol The girls are almost beside themselves with anticipation. This is really a fun time. They are both old enough to understand and enjoy fully the joy of Christmas. We took them both shopping (at the $2 shop lol) this morning. Yep we braved the crowds and arrived on the $2 shop doorstop at 9.00am precisely, only to find it already full of people and the street very busy too. Heaps of shops already open. For the past couple of years we have taken Isobel to choose a wee gift for members of the family. Something that she has thought about and can put her name on under the tree. She also makes alot of things too like pictures and books, but this is something that she quite enjoys doing. This year Jess wanted to join in too. So we decided that they should choice the pressies together instead of one each for each person KWIM? You know its the $2 shop!! Don't want to overload the grandparents with some lovely gift that is likely to break before they get home. Gotta love the $2 shop tho cause it does have some treasures. Anyway they found pressies for everyone and AGREED on them all!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!! Then got a pressie for each other, home to wrap and put under the tree. They were so excited about that too.

The only things that are worrying me are - not having enough room for everyone to sit down and eat, and also having to cook the turkey!! OMG Do these people not know that I cannot be trusted with the turkey!!!!!!!! ah well, there will be ham as a backup!! lol

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all.
