Even when they were here we would all go shopping together and out to eat the day after Christmas, just for fun Boy, do I ever miss them!!

I have bought a few things for Mike, but he's just so good at buying things for himself that he doesn't leave anything for me, lol! He likes to shop for me too, so I really don't complain
Yes Betsi, I'm missing my kids too, even though they are only 4 hours away, so I really shouldn't complain. But things have been so crazy around here, I haven't been able to go to Houston very much this fall. They have come up twice, but still not having them here for activities leading up to Christmas, is harder than I ever thought.

I bought gift cards for my 15 year old Abigail. Brooke and Bryan will want money. Gary got Emma Little Umi http://www.bradford.com.au/product_i...utan-Doll.html. NO! I didn't pay $199 for her. I think she's a little scary looking in person and I'm not sure Emma will even like her, but that's what her Papaw wanted to get her. Then I got her a Giddy Up Go riding pony because you know she loves horses I got all the kids some fun things for their stockings, so yes, I think I'm about done. But it just hasn't been very much fun this year. I guess I'm feeling sorry for myself - maybe that is what has given me a case of the blahs! I need to go volunteer at the homeless shelter or something to get me over this case of feeling sorry for myself, or whatever it is.
