Christmas shopping

Obviously this week my mind is on Christmas!!! I even have all of our Christmas cards addressed and sealed (benefit of being in bed with mono!)

My dear, sweet husband and I had a tiff the other day because he thinks I have gone overboard on Christmas this year. We agreed a while ago that Hudson would be getting a bouncy house. Those are pretty expensive and it is a huge gift. When Jonathan agreed that is what we would be buying he said "that should be all he gets."

The facts are-
1. Hudson is 2. He is not going to know if he is getting a lot or a little.

2. Christmas is not about gifts. We should not focus on that.

3. The child is spoiled. He has 9 Grandparents/ great grandparents who are overly generous. Plus he has Aunts, Uncles and his precious cousins.

And I know these things are true. I told it to myself every single time I found myself buying more things. But I cannot stop. This is the first year I feel like Hudson will really LOVE Christmas morning. He gets so excited when he gets a new toy, book, movie, etc. This is also our first Christmas in a house with room, a backyard and fireplaces for our stockings.

So I may have gone overboard. I finished shopping this morning. Or at least I told myself that. I pulled everything out while Hudson was at school so I could make sure I had it all. I got so tickled when I realized so much of it is firetruck related. Firetruck books, big trucks, a fireman dress up suit, fireman boots, action figures. It was pretty funny. I also know my Dad and Lisa got him a firetruck that he can sit in and drive! Boys.... they love firetrucks! He is also getting a lot of other small things like- more Tonka trucks, clothes, books, movies, art kits, puzzles, new board games, big dinosaurs...etc.

Truth be told, I just cannot wait to see his face Christmas morning. I know he is going to be jumping up and down. Is is December 25th yet?
