Beth and I headed out to do some more Christmas shopping this morning, specifically to Toys R Us to get the Thomas the Tank Engine roundhouse for Alex and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse playset for Missy. This is the first Christmas they have a grasp of what Santa is, and those are the things they want. Of course, we found neither. But we did get boots for both of them so they can play outside. We had some snow this week and they made some snow angels but got cold pretty fast. Anyway, later on my boss had a Christmas party at her house. We played a game called Apples to Apples that Beth and I may have to have sometime. Good times. Later on, we searched e-Bay for the kids' Christmas items, finding that (go figure) both items were sold out, hard to find, yada yada. Spent more than MSRP on both of them and shipping besides. But, we should have a good Christmas, and Santa will be good to them.
