That is my plan as well.
Thanks for the compliment but those are hers, I will take pictures of mine when I am done. My sewing skills are not as good as hers but I think it will be okay.

I think I'm pretty much done for the kids. Still need to order gift cards for parents (already ordered them each a gift). Also, need to buy for our adopted family here or come up with something to make.
Rooney:
OK Cathie, this number got me movin"!! ;D
Got all the ingredients for the Christmas treats. Settled on 3 fairly easy ones to keep it simple. Just need to find some Dandies marshmallows for one of them. (Dandies are the only ones that don't hurt our bellies. :P)
Got all the kids Christmas Eve outfits. Bought 3 the other day at 70% off and got the others back in February at our clearance shopping trip.
Got all of Gabby's stuff ordered (she is the most "fun" to shop for because she is my "girlie" girl and loves all things princess. ;)
Got a few smaller gifts for a couple of the older boys. Today I am placing an order that should put me at the three quarters finished mark.
Still need to get the tree up. We only use lights cause the littles like to pull the ornaments off.
Also need all things wrapping-wise.
Need to do the dreaded Christmas picture. Hard to get all nine to hold still and be happy at the same time. I once got an idea from someone. They got tired of trying to get all their little ones to smile for a picture, so she took a picture of them crying. The caption under it read "Have a Crappy Christmas". Even though that would be easier, I wouldn't do that......or would I? ;) ;D
Proudmama:
The engine light came on in my van the other day. Doug took it to the shop and "blah, blah, blah intake manifold blah, blah, blah $897". That is all I heard!! Boo! My credit card will never, ever get paid off! This also cuts down on the amount of money I have for Christmas and also the amount I feel comfortable putting on a credit card.
I haven't really made any progress in the last week or so but I know what I need to do - does that count? I think Doug and I will go out Saturday morning and finish up the gifts for the kids. I am finished Doug other than his stocking and that is just little stuff although I do not know how I am going to get it since I can't drive. Because the car was so much, I am going to tell him to just get me the Santa he gets me every year and not worry about anything else. My birthday is only about a week after Christmas so he can get me something little for that.
Most of what we have left for Doug's family is gift cards so I can get them with his next pay if I have to do that. I may get the girls' bus drivers gift cards, too or see if Molly wants to make cookies to give out. Like Mandy, I am limited by my inabilities this year so am just doing the best that I can.

We pulled everything down from the attic today. We also decided not to put up the Christmas tree this year. Between a human-sized dog who likes to 'explore' (and could easily chomp through an ornament in one bite) and a need for seating room for my girl's night party, it just makes things easier. I still decorated the mantle and parts of the kitchen, and will do the hall/guest bathroom as well. It is so freeing not to have to worry about that tree!
OK, back to addressing endless cards :)
