DYK I'm wondering where Jennie is?


DYK I thought we should start a new DYK thread?

DYK I thought it might be fun to see how many posts we can get up to in November?

DYK we had 574 posts in the last DYK thread?

DYK every time you post I'm more surprised!?

DYK I'm getting supplies tonight to have people over Thursday to make these?

DYK we're doing them in cone shaped cellophane bags, topping with marshmallows, chocolate chips and crushed candy canes?

DYK perfect stocking stuffer?

DYK it's for my playgroup and the kids are making them?

DYK it's gonna be a mess? That's ok though.

DYK I know exactly what you mean about gift giving orientation.


DYK my kids know we give presents because baby Jesus got presents and it's his birthday


DYK they each get a gift at the other person's birthday (Abi on Dek's and vice versus) so it was an easy concept for them to understand.


DYK we do ONE big Santa present and that's it aside from stockings.


DYK that doesn't mean big $$


DYK this year we got Deklan a Fisher PRice bubble blower push mower

DYK I think it will be fun to have all the kids helping with it?

DYK we've got a couple of projects to do with the playgroup over the next few weeks? We're doing a couple of ornaments, the hot chocolate cones and a Mom's craft. (Fleece tie blankets.)

DYK I LOVE LOVE LOVE giving gifts? I wouldn't care if I got nothing for Christmas. As long as I get to be with my husband and kids and see them all be happy my life is great!

DYK I'm wondering what you got Abi?

DYK we don't buy tons either? Regan is getting a baby set from Parker. We're giving her an aqua doodle mat. Regan is getting Parker drums ($19 at Walmart!) and we're getting him a Leapster. It's kind of crazy to spend that much money on a 3 year old but it's pretty educational. He's very into learning. It's worth it to me because he's such a well behaved kid. That's about all he'll be getting from us. Grandparents are another story though. I'm know my Dad went overboard this year. I make up for that my having my kids donate a bunch of their old toys. We just don't need that many toys!
