Almost done!

Yesterday, my mom and I decided to go Christmas shopping with the kids. I know Christmas shopping with the kids is not what people normally do, but I can't leave Brentley with anyone anyway, and we didn't have anyone to watch Grace and Cheyenne on the spur of the moment like that either, so we all went. I spent $100 and got most of my Christmas shopping done!!

For $100 I got:
  • LeapFrog Scribble and Write (for Grace) --- On sale, $6 off!
  • Two things of bubblebath (for Grace's stocking) --- On sale, two for $3!
  • Two body wash (one for Grace's stocking, one for Cheyenne --- On sale, two for 3!
  • Four nice sippy cups (for Brentley) --- On sale, $6 off!
  • Our family ornament
  • Brentley's First Christmas ornament
  • Three Christmas baskets
  • Two stockings
  • A Tootsie Roll container full of Tootsie Rolls (for Grace's stocking)
  • Two Sesame Street bath books (for Grace)
  • A shark teether and a turtle teether (for Brentley's stocking)
  • Two spoons (for Brentley's stocking)
  • Three picture frames
  • Five different things of wrapping paper
  • Five cookie cutters
  • A Christmas card for Chris' mom and step-dad
  • A Christmas card for my dad
  • A Christmas card for the babies to give my dad
  • A Baby's first Christmas card for Brentley
  • Four things of batteries
  • Some Christmas plastic baggies 

The only things I have left to get now are an ornament for Grace, possibly a CD for my mom, cards for several people, and getting the kids Christmas pictures done, then I will be done shopping. I'll move on to wrapping and getting the gift baskets/stockings together then :) Chris still wants to get the Kinect game for Grace and something for Brentley, but he always waits until last minute, so that's up to him lol.

I am officially done present shopping for the babies for sure.

Grace is going to get:
  • The Tag Junior
  • The carrying case for it
  • Three Sesame Street books for it
  • Two Sesame Street bath books
  • About ten Barney books
  • The LeapFrog Scribble and Write
  • Two Elmo cups and an Elmo plate
  • The deluxe cleaning set
  • The Polar Express (actually for Brentley too)
  • A Disney Princess toothbrush and cup set
  • The pillow and pillowcase I made
  • The letter magnets I'm going to make
Brentley is going to get:
  • The Jumperroo
  • The monogrammed blanket
  • The four sippy cups
  • A piggy bank
  • A blue sock monkey
  • A Disney Cars toothbrush and cup set (I know he can't use it yet, but he will eventually lol)
  • The pillow and pillowcase I made
  • The letter magnets I am going to make (that he also can't use until older)
(Brentley is not getting quite as many things because I ran out of ideas for things to buy a (going-to-be) four month old, but he is actually getting more than Grace got on her first Christmas.)

And, for Grace's stocking:
  • Two things of bubble bath
  • A thing of bath wash
  • A small pink sock monkey
  • A little name plate
  • Gummy vitamins
  • A container of Tootsie Rolls
  • A card
For Brentley's stocking:
  • A Christmas rubber duck
  • A small blue sock monkey
  • Two teethers
  • Two baby spoons
  • A card

  1. Goo deals! All that for only $100.00?

    Wow! Grace is going to get some good stuff. :) Leap Frog is the way to go. I have never bought her something Leap Frog that she didn't like or that I didn't like.

    Yah. Samantha didn't get too much for her first Christmas either. She was only 3 months.

  2. Yep, Dollar Tree and sales! Toys-R-Us and Babies-R-Us both have some great sales going on right now. And of course everything in Dollar Tree is $1 lol. I spent $36 in there :p The only things I didn't buy on sale were the ornaments. I got them at that cart in the mall. Can we say expensive? Lol. I didn't like any others I had seen anywhere else though...

    My aunt got her a LeapFrog Text and Learn for her birthday... She is in love with that thing! She takes it everywhere we go lol.
