Christmas shopping finished!

I picked up the last Christmas present today and boy it feels good. Now for the monumental task of wrapping everything. Thank goodness for online shopping! A good portion of our gifts were purchased online so I didn't have to ship them myself. Except for the disaster that is google checkout. I DON'T recommend buying through google checkout. I bought a couple of things from toysrus and wanted the $10 off they were offering if you went through google checkout. I totally trust google and wanted the $10 off so I went for it. Long story short, I paid $20 in shipping charges and still have to ship them from my house to the place they should have gone to begin with! UGH!

Anyway, it's so much fun to play Santa. Right now everything is hidden in the attic and it will be very interesting to get it all in the car and hidden without Harrison noticing. We'll see! We're leaving for Dallas on Thursday of next week.

Harrison and Kevin are flying first class to New Orleans to watch Rice play in their first bowl game in forever! Harrison could care less about football, but is very excited to stay in a hotel with only Daddy. Normally he gets the couch in the hotel, and this time he'll have his own bed! WOW! Can Daddy disguise him as a 20-something guy so he can go to the casinos???? Stay tuned!

Alex had his first haircut last week. I was so reluctant to cut it for fear of losing the curls. I'm happy to say his hair is still curly. Here are some shots of the big haircut. He was NOT amused!

We also went to see Santa. Harrison had stage fright and couldn't remember many things on his list. Santa told us we could mail the list, so we'll do that tomorrow. Alex was not a fan and cried the whole time. I think it's the age. Why is Santa so scary to kids????
