My dad ...Christmas gift giving stresses me out too! My dad and brother are the hardest to shop for and their birthdays are in the beginning of January, so we usually try to bring those present with us too and leave them to open later. I have to come up with two gifts for each of them at the same time!Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01466771774001309549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781474098383349170.post-76178462324303042322012-11-26T22:41:00.876-05:002012-11-26T22:41:00.876-05:00Waffles/pancakes made into a sandwich with cream c...Waffles/pancakes made into a sandwich with cream cheese and jelly or peanut butter = yum. Yes, this is basically just using them as toast but with pancakes you can also roll them into little logs and serve them to picky kids.

(That's okay if you mean the real stuff, we can still be friends ... just checking though. ;) )<br /><br />Stella has such a beautiful smile--what a little ray of sunshine! <br /><br />And I haven't started Christmas shopping yet, although that might change today ... it totally stresses me out, too. I love it when I DO find the "perfect" gift, but otherwise I have so much anxiety about gift-giving.

Just like his drawing of a train/plane/robot. <br /><br />4: I have most of my Christmas shopping done, too (and' when I say "most" I never count my in-laws... thats a whole mess of who's going in on which present for who and how much money everyone owes each other that gets mostly resolved by Dec. 24. I try to make Chuckie deal with it.) I've been a little annoyed this year by the pressure to do all the shopping early. I was finding myself stressed out last week because my family kept saying they had all their shopping done and had I gotten so-and-so's present yet? And then I realized I had over a MONTH until Christmas. I get wanting to keep the stress away from Advent, but seriously. I don't want to be stressed out about Christmas shopping at any point! <br /><br />Glad you liked the syrup and waffles! :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914343351803930748noreply@blogger.com
