Christmas Shopping

Heard through the grapevine that Christmas packages had to be mailed by November 13th in order to arrive in the states by Christmas.  (*or pay twice as much as the gift cost to mail it priority mail)


So.........I had to kick it in high gear.

I'm not going to lie.

I am not the stereotype female shopper.

Some things will be mailed directly from the states to the states, via ONLINE shopping.

And I'm just saying, it won't be wrapped or have a card attached.

I am so sorry!

ALSO.....
I did NOT get Christmas family photos done in time to order cards,
have them sent to me
and then,
do the turn around to send them to the states.

(I'll be on top of that next year, 'cause I LOVE getting Christmas cards from my family and friends, and I don't want anyone to cross me off THEIR list)

But seriously, I got one box ready with Christmas gifts for all the "GREAT GRANDS" on my mom's side of the family. 

I am super excited about this because we have three,

Yes, THREE!

new babies in the family this year! 

Read about the first one here

and introducing the other two:

Talon

Hannah and Dad Ellis

I really, really LOVE babies! 

I don't know if all three will be at my grandmother's for Christmas this year,
 but I wish I could get my hands on them! 

ADORABLE I tell ya!

So official CONGRATULATIONS from Guam to my cousin Lydia!
And to my cousin Ellis!
