I love this time of year. As much as i absolutely adore summer (the hotter the better!) i almost, ALMOST love the Holidays more. If i could swim on Christmas day, no doubt it would be my favorite day of the year.
We are surprisingly ahead of our normal schedule this year with shopping. Thanks to some awesome Toys R Us sales, Lori's Christmas is complete! On Christmas morning i am going to have a happy little munchkin with a brand new Kitchen, Vanity, Shopping cart, and her very first Cabbage Patch doll. We even let her pick out her own special paper to wrap her gifts in. Dora the Explorer, of course. Although she is more interested in using the roll of paper as a weapon, than on using it to wrap her gifts...she is my child.
I also have my nephew (and new niece or nephew!), all my secret santa's, a couple of friends, and Roman (halfway) bought for. Now i just have to nag Roman to get something with MY name on it. I love giving but i want gifts too! Especially those of the musical, healthy/exercise, and awesomely cool accessory kind. Hint hint, nudge nudge.
The countdown to Thanksgiving Dinner, and Christmas decorating is ON! Thanksgiving day will be a big family dinner with Roman's family, and Friday i will be getting up early to cook our own special meal. Which will be promptly followed by lots and lots of shopping with all the other crazy people out doing the same thing! Then we come home, exhausted and grumpy, put up our Christmas tree, and put all our gifts under it. After which we will swear to never, ever, EVER go out shopping on Black Friday ever again. Don't worry though, we'll do it again next year, we always do.

Ahh cabbage patch! I got my first cb on my first Christmas, and got one every single year after that until I got too old to play with dolls. I still have all of them : P They stand the test of time, that's for sure!
