one.
my babies, christmas pjs and a christmas tree. need i say more?
happy december!!
two.
confession. i lost our elf. yep, no idea where he is. the kids keep asking when hes going to arrive. they look for him every morning and i have absolutely no idea where i put him! and i’m with my kids 24/7 so i haven’t found a chance to buy a new one. GREAT! i have a love/hate relationship with our elf “Bernard” (pronounced ber-nerd, as if we are brittish). i’m sure more parents agree with me. ahhhh…elf on the shelf, brilliant but tedious.
three.
my goal for this weekend is to finish this tree. the top is still bare. i am not one to act like i don’t need my husbands muscle to lug a ladder up the stairs. i won’t attempt it. i’d die. just being honest. we’ve been so busy but i don’t think we have anything going on sunday so HOPEFULLY sunday is the day!! fingers crossed….
speaking of the tree, my mother in law sent us this ornament she had made for us and i absolutely love it! look at all those little slippers on the bottom. SO SO cute!!
four.
what do all your kids want for christmas? this year my kids haven’t told me much at all. Logan has asked for legos and Kamryn a new ipad. (ipad story: logans broke, kamryn gave up hers to logan) thats it!! thats all they’ve told me! i’m at a loss as to what else to get them and what to get Kensington and Tenley. Kensington loves all things cute so i’m thinking baby dolls, baby doll accessories, things like that. Tenley, no. idea. i know she doesn’t need much…shes a baby. but the big kids look for presents for the babies so we need to do something. i am SO thankful none of them know what a hatchimal is though! PHEW!!
while we are on the subject of gifts. i totally think adult Christmas lists should be a thing. for 2 reasons… #1. i am terrible at knowing what to buy the adults in my life. i want the gift to be something they really want/need and i stress over it, ask their spouses, think think and think until i overthink it and just grab them something like a candle/pjs/lotions/scratch tickets…you know the usual. and in the end it looks like i didn’t even think about it but the truth is, i did. oh, i did. #2. as an adult myself i always feel like an ass when someone asks me what i want. i don’t want to seem too greedy if i say “I want these booties at Nordstrom” (which happen to be $100). i don’t want whoever i told to now feel obligated to get me those. i never know what’s the right price point when someone asks you that. even my parents. and i don’t want to put someone on the spot either like, hey..how much do you want to spend? it’s a lot and makes me anxious. so if adult Christmas lists were a thing it would get rid of all of that. Think baby or wedding registry. things off all different prices but things you know the person wants/needs. let’s get these things going people! i think its GENIUS! (someone is going to steal this idea, so just remember you heard it here first!)
five.
college.
this year Lexi is a junior and i feel like all we talk about is GPA’s and colleges. this is a lot. i didn’t go to college and mike only applied to one school and got in. i have no idea when we should start tours, what types of schools she should be looking at, etc etc. but, it sure is an exciting time! she knows she wants to be a teacher and its just been deciding if she wants to be a history teacher or elementary. i have to be honest, i think she should go the history route. Lexi LOVES history. she gets giddy about it, whereas i want to fall asleep when a conversation comes up about our forefathers. i truly don’t think theres a better thing for her to do than get other kids/teenagers giddy about history. but, her decision not mine.
also, how are we here? i remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. now my baby sister is almost a senior! time is a flyin!!!
well, thats it for today. its december. Christmas season is officially in full swing and no one can give me crap anymore about having my tree up. it is time. i’m looking forward to all of the traditions we have with the kids. everyone in the Sass house is EXCITED!!
i hope you have a great weekend!! xo, Kristen
