Due to finances this year, JR and I decided to forego personal gifts this year. We spent our Christmas budget on the kids and grandparents...that was it. We ended up getting several gift cards from my aunts and uncles, so JR and I decided to pick one thing that we wanted and use the gift card for it...JR got a stack of 100 CD's to burn music on - why 100??? I have no idea...but what ever, then he got a sharpee to label the discs and a case for his truck. I got a coffee maker!!! I am so excited about this, I can't even describe it. So, I just got a cheap $10 coffee maker and then I got a coffee bean grinder and some coffee filters. I also recieved a gift card to Starbucks...well actually I got 2, so I went over and bought some Columbian coffee beans and some House Blend beans. I was so excited to make myself my first cup of coffee this morning...oh...and I got some white chocolate mocha creamer to go with it!!! So I am sitting here drinking my coffee...and it is DELICIOUS!!! What a wonderful Christmas gift!! We still have several gift cards left over and I am not sure what to do with them...the kids got plenty of toys and lots of new clothes, so I am not sure what to do with them just yet. I am thinking I will hold on to them and use them later for the kids..when they need a new outfit...oh, man - I NEED to get Logan some new shoes...hmmm...so I will use them for new shoes, and hold on to the rest. I hate doing that because people send them with the intention that you will buy something that then becomes the gift that they were responsible for...BUT my kids dont really need anything else....I am sure that a month from now, they will be ready for something new...ehhh! I dont know!
Anyway....I love COFFEE!!! Maybe now I will be able to stay awake throughout the ENTIRE day!

Yay! You finally got a coffeemaker! Now I can come back to town. LOL! You're seriously going to need that coffeemaker if you plan on having a third child. I'm the same way about having coffee in the evening. Except I don't drink coffee after I get home from work. I am currently addicted to French Vanilla creamer. I seem to cycle through favorites.
I was trying to decided what to get Aiden with his gift card to Toys R Us, but I might just do what you said and wait for a while. He has TOO MANY TOYS. Although, I was thinking about getting an umbrella for his new picnic table... Hmmmm...
I love coffee now...LOL! I like french vanilla and white chocolate mocha creamer...but I am also fine with milk and sugar!
