The Chronister Family

Where I'm at on gifts

Good evening, friends! Whew... I'm getting there. I have only two more people to buy for: my 2 yr old nephew (who isn't too fond of Becca because she played with his toys when we visited) and my BIL. I haven't a clue what to get either of them. I have most of my handmade gifts done. I need to do a quick batch of soap for about 5 bars. I figure two hand knitted dishcloths and bar of homemade soap is a good present. I have to tie the fabric around the tops of my cocoa jars and dip some more chocolate covered spoons to go with them. The handmade gifts are are for friends and cub scout leaders and violin teachers, etc.... Hopefully everyone will enjoy them.

My MIL will be here for a day just before we leave for Christmas. I am looking forward to seeing her. She just moved back to CONUS after living in Hawaii for something close to 13 years. So we'd only get to see her about once every other year or so. Now she lives in Atlanta, so it's only about 5 hours away. Sounds good, eh? I teased my husband and said that it's a day trip now, so she could come over one weekend every month. He said, "Uhhhhhhhh........." Hehehehe!

I have to get reservations made for our hotel for going to Florida. We're going to be down there Christmas Eve and Christmas night, traveling back here on the 26th. I may miss all of the After Christmas sales!! Better for my wallet, anyway.

I have to get some holiday baking done. I have all of the items bought and ready to go, it's just having time to do it that's the trick. We're going to get the boys involved in it so that they can really enjoy it. I may be making some buckeye candies, too. YummOh!

I have to get going now. We've got a long day tomorrow with a bowling tourney, and Cub Caroling, so we will need to be turning in. I hope that your preps are going well. May God bless you and your families!
