This week ive been xmas tree/ornament shopping. Up until this year Derek and I had a little green 4' tall xmas tree I bought 3 days before Derek came home from Iraq in 2007. It has special meaning so I never wanted to use anything else, but with Dreycin being fascinated with so many new things I thought it would be a perfect year to start with new christmas traditions. Derek requested no green tree, so I got a white christmas tree. We are going with bright blue and red decorations.....i know i know a little corny but we do live for the RED WHITE AND BLUE!!! Hobby lobby was having a 40-50% off of christmas decorations, and there was 50% coupon online which I used for the tree skirt because those werent on sale. Will post pics sometime next week, we are still waiting on tree to arrive! Plus we are having Derek's brother here for thanksgiving, so maybe we'll do the tree together. He is leaving for his 3year duty station of Germany on Jan 11th, hopefully during that time we will be able to go and vacation with him!!
I'll start with my little man first!
For Dreycin im loving the little people items, especially the zoo set, farm animals, and pull along bus with blocks. Derek and I also want to get home a motorized car to ride! I want to buy him a kitchen, but for some reason my husband doesnt think its very boyish....but my whole point is why would they make boy colors?
For me Im loving the new canon S95, i know its pricey but i need something small to fit in my purse with great quality!
For Derek, well i think he needs a punching bag 100lb, with a stand and boxing gloves.
A few other ideas of mine for xmas is that 1. i think we are going to start a tradition of making gingerbread houses or cookies(not sure yet), 2. matching pj's on xmas eve, 3. everyone in the family is going to get a handmade ornament from Dreycin ;) (we already bought all the stuff just got to get onto the making part...which may be a challenge?!
To be continued.....
