Christmas is right around the corner!!

Great Gift Idea!!

Best Version I Have Seen!!

And I have hopped on the Christmas shopping wagon already and already started the "pre-decorating" around the house..We saw Disneys "A Christmas Carol" with Jim Carrey to get  us into the holiday spirit. Attended an 80th Birthday party with friends and family along with my Moms 53rd birthday party. I have been spending my time with my boys and Charlies and enjoying just being home. Nicholas has started Taekwondo & is having a lot of fun...pictures to come!! Jake has his last Soccer Tots class on Saturday where I plan on taking lots of pics!!!  A few more gift ideas are circulating around in my head, in particular I saw this on tv yesterday and it is the coolest gift ever for my 8 yr old. I love Crayola's products, they have the neatest art supplies for my guys! Nicholas is such a great artist anyways! Here is the scoop on the "Glowdome"...He can color anything he wants on the dome, and it just wipes right off when he wants to change it...nice! Some of the things they show as examples include a flames (when camping in the livingroom:) A space scene...oh so cool and this aquarium...I love it and of course Crayola's website has lots of ideas as well as some neat printables and online Christmas activities for the young one. Love it!! I will be picking one up in the coming days!!! So for now back to home, preparations for Thanksgiving including cooking & the Parade. Can't wait to get the tree up. Have a fantastic week!! What are you doing differently this year to prepare for the upcoming holidays, I would love to hear from some of you!
