Can't wait till Christmas!

Well I haven't been on here in AGESSSSS! But I thought I'd drop by & say how absolutely excited I am that CHRISTmas is coming soon! I know, I know.. we still have a while to go, but it just feels so near to me. A couple of my friends have already started getting their trees & decorations out and I feel like I REALLY want to as well! But I'm containing myself and waiting 'till the day after Thanksgiving, since it's been a little tradition of ours for the past few years. But Christmas gift shopping.. now that's another story!- I've been buying Faith's Christmas presents since end of May/July!! haha. The first few I got her are from the first time we went to Florida this year, I managed to actually save a few (like 3-4) things that we got from Disney and NOT give 'em to her till Christmas! It was incredibly hard but I've managed it and I think it'll make 'em all the more special when she opens them Christmas morning. I've also already got her main present.. a dollhouse for her barbies. And let me just say.. I know for a FACT that my little princess will have THE most amazing dollhouse in the world! lol. It just came out last month and I'd been waiting for a couple months for it to finally be out for sale and the moment it did I ordered it and it came in the mail just 4 days later.. amazing shipping time. Her 2nd main gift is a Bitty Baby from American Girl, we're getting her a baby with brown hair & brown eyes, like her, and with the starter pack so it'll have lots of cute little things for the doll & a book for Faithy & I to read together. Im ordering that this coming weekend and plan on making it a Christmas tradition, every year she'll get a new American Girl doll! Since she's still little we're starting with the Bitty Baby, then next year I plan on getting her the Bitty Twins and the Christmas after that we'll start with the more "traditional" American Girl dolls, since she'll be old enough to appreciate them and , hopefully, read the books :)
Now the one person for whom I have no idea what to buy is Jay Daniel.. I've been racking my brain and well it'll probably end up being a last minute gift bc I really have NO idea :/ Maybe he'll start dropping hints soon or maybe I"ll be lucky enough to win this Lenovo laptop for him! I found the blog about the laptop giveaway on dearchrissy.com thru another blog I follow, armywife101.com. And well let's just say it seems aaamazing! Jay will most likely be deploying next year and before he does we'll be getting him a new laptop to take overseas and wouldn't it just be PERFECT if I were to win this one! What better gift, huh? :)
As part of the laptop contest I have to add this little snippet, so here it goes- I entered Crissy’s Can’t Wait til Christmas Lenovo Laptop Giveaway and hope to win a $799.00 IdeaPad!

Well later guys! I promise I'll be by to post again in the very near future! I'd forgotten how fun it is to "blog away"!
