Family Time Weekend Recap
Happy Monday all! I hope y'all aren't melting in the heat because it is MISERABLE! Today we are going to apparently break records from the heat and be at 100 with heat index way higher. Yay. This will be me for the next week: source We went to my second cousin's graduation party. I purposely wanted to arrive about 45 minutes later than the start time. You don't want to get wrangled into setting up, babysitting, etc and that happened to people arriving earlier from what I heard so smart call on my part. Also everyone is always chit chatting and we knew if there would be food it would be about the time they'd be eating...right again. We already ate so we were good to go and then shocked the sh*t out my family when we walked in. Final goal: ✔ The grad immediately popped up and came over to hug us and be a good hostess which was so cute. She's always been a very sweet kid but also a little badass. She was the only wrest...
I'm done! All wrapped up too and that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have gifts for the three friends (outside of family) that I buy for. I need to wrap them, and I need to find a birthday present for one of them (her bday is the 21st). I haven't started family shopping yet, but I won't have a whole lot to buy. I need to get on it, but I will probably wait until early December.
ReplyDeleteThis is the earliest I've had most of mine done. I bought some stuff in the summer, so that's been ready to go. I have a friend who's birthday is two days before Christmas so I have a little extra to buy for her. I'd say I'm about 85% done (I have a few more things to get for the hubs, which I'm ordering this week) and just have to wrap. My goal is to be done before vacation so I can look at the pretty packages and sing with glee that all my wrapping paper is put away. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe just got our names from my husband's side of the family (we draw names). I know I want to get my mother in law a tea set, but holy $$
ReplyDeleteI host afternoon teas and I get all of my stuff from this place: https://www.englishteastore.com/teasets.html I hope they have a set you might like for her at a reasonable price!
DeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHaven't even started and have no clue what I am buying this year. So not ready for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBoth my partner and I have started our shopping. He mostly just buys for his son, it is our year to be Santa, and the name he draws from his extended family. I've started my shopping for his son and my mother. I just set my holiday present budget, received my nieces' wish lists, and I'm still waiting on my mum's wish list. Now I'll wait and start looking for sales and for Giving Tuesday (I make a donation in my father & step-mother's name as their present). I probably won't be 100% finished until the week before Christmas. There are always last minute stocking stuffers to pick up.
ReplyDeleteOur family started drawing names and that hasn't been done yet so I haven't bought anything aside from the yarn I'm using to make gifts for my niece and nephew. I'm behind on making doughs too but hoping to work on that this weekend.
