its begining to look alot like christmas.......

well, I am officially done Christmas shopping.. can you believe it, Christmas is just two sleeps away! My daughter knows how many and is pretty excited and as you can guess the baby could care less. (although she might try and eat the wrapping paper!) I normally have all my shopping done at the beginning of December as I try and pick things up all year round so that its not so much at the end. But this year, my husbands father was nearly impossible to buy for. He WONT tell you what he wants, tells you he does not need anything, and then your left trying to find something for a person who needs nothing. Next year is going to be different. I don't think I should be buying gifts just for the sake of having everyone accumulate more "stuff". I will try and buy practical things for people that they can use, wear, eat.. lol. My FIL I know how much he loves smoked salmon so bought him some of that. The box it comes in is wooden with a carved design. Would he use the box? No probably not, but he will eat the fish, and perhaps my Mother in law can use the box, or they can let my daughter have it. I am sure she will have fun with it. OR I can use it to wrap another gift who knows! lol.

We are heading to my Mother in laws for dinner tomorrow, and then heading into the city on Thursday for Christmas dinner at my sisters. Shes currently 20 weeks along and just found out that they are expecting another little boy (her husband has two boys from a previous marriage and they have one son together and now one son on the way) as we have two girls they offered to trade !lol (it was a joke! lol) Shes also been told by the midwife that her amino fluid is low, so of course shes freaked out on what it could possibly mean. She had to have blood tests today to find out before she can see a specialist, so please keep her in your thoughts that its "nothing".

I am hoping we can make it out to the city for dinner. We are expecting snow. And the one thing you should know about us here in British Columbia, is that we don't get alot of the white stuff out here, we get tons of rain, but hardly any snow, so when we do, everyone drives like they just got their license, there are tons of accidents and people going off the road....so I tend to not want to go out there. I actually saw a mustang having CHAINS on his tires.. okay, sounds like a good plan given that there was snow.. BUT the roads where CLEAR! He was driving his mustang with chains on the BARE road! You should have seen some of the sparks. I am sure that this can do some damage to the road and his car. No idea what he was thinking and was surprised he did not pull over to take them off!

Anyways, I want to wish you all a merry Christmas!! (if you celebrate and if you don't, I hope you have a wonderful new year! lol)
