It's December 2nd and I'm about 95% finished with my Christmas shopping! Yay!
December 15th is the deadline for a project I've had nagging at me for a couple of months now...Emmeline aprons for Jessica and Danielle's birthday gifts. I'm also planning to make one for myself and one for my mother - they're just so dang cute, after all!
I'm not exactly sure what we're going to do about a tree and gifts this year. Avery has already ripped open two of his presents that we brought back from Thanksgiving in Nebraska (Grandma and Grandpa Weatherby have excellent taste!). He also managed to tear apart one of Matthew's presents. So I'm under the impression that we're just asking for trouble if we put wrapped gifts under our tree - if we even put up our full-sized tree. That's the other dilemma. Tree or no tree. I have this terrible feeling that if we put it up, we will have no ornaments left by the end of this holiday season. And even if we do as my mother-in-law suggested and only decorate the top half, I am afraid Avery would just yank the entire thing down on him trying to reach them.
What do you think? Tree or no tree? Wrapped gifts under the tree? Wrap the gifts and let them sit in the closet until Christmas Eve (this one gets my vote).
I just can't wait until Christmas morning, watching my little one excitedly rushing from one gift to another, surrounded by people who love him so deeply.
23 days and counting...

lookie here, lady. I'm working on a jewelry post, so just settle down.
How's the emmeline pattern? Do you like it?
I say skip the tree and hide the gifts. But that's because I'm kind of lazy.
