This year, everything Stewart wants is Star Wars for Bakugan (whatever the heck that is - I don't even know if I spelled it correctly.)  Santa is bringing the BIG MONSTER Millenium Falcon - yeah, I know it's ridiculously priced but the only thing I really want this year is for the kids to have a good holiday.  Money has been tight since - well since Parker was born and I got my new, lower paying but closer to home job.  I feel like I've been saying, "Not today sweetie, Maybe for Christmas" for the last 6 months.  So i'm doing the best I can to make sure he gets what i know he wants the most.  And he's wanted this Millenium Falcon since I saw it this summer.  Secretly, I can't wait to play with it a little bit too - I remember when my brother got his Millenium Falcon from TG&Y DECADES ago. 

So - he's getting this Millenium Falcon and an AT-TE walker (I have no idea what that is.  I think it's from Clone Wars and it walks up the walls in the movie) from Santa.  Mommy and daddy got him some kind of Republic gunship - i have no idea what that is either.  It looks like a clone trooper transporter - lol.  And he got some other stuff.  He already has just about every Star Wars character - at least all of the ones he wants.  There are a few other presents i'm gonna get - but I must say, itis much easier to shop for Parker. 

So I was sitting here on the floor wrapping presents and I got worried that Stewart will get upset and jealous because Parker's presents come in bigger boxes - or because Parker's presents light up and make noise.  I'm sure it will be fine.  But I wouldn't be a mommy if I didn't worry about the ridiculous things.

I had a hard time at Thanksgiving.  It just didn't feel like a holiday - it was just us.  I told Bill, it really just felt like we were having our big Sunday meal.  I hope Christmas can feel a little more festive and holiday-ish.  I'm sure it will be fun - watching the kids open presents and then watch Parker want to eat the paper more than play with his toys.  

I can't believe it's only FIFTEEN more days!!!!!
