OMG, Christmas is headed straight for us!! RUN!

Still have not gotten a single Christmas present yet. This may be a record for me. Long ago I agreed to babysit during the the day today, so shopping's kinda out. Although I might have to have a present strategy session when I get back.

Since I have to pick the kids up from their Christmas pageant practice, I decided we're going to Kiddie Crack House McDonald's for lunch. I'm the fun Auntie! I'm also the lazy Auntie as we're going to go to the non-playground one and go through the drive-thru. Heh heh heh. Not that they don't deserve the playground - the 4-year-old drew this for me:





A is for "Auntie" and B is for Brynn. AWWWWWWWWW!

Lazy Aunts unite! Instead of going to the playgrounds, I take my two year-old niece on long walks around the neighborhood. It's not like she notices. It wears her out all the same. lol

That's an excellent way to go! :D

Awwwww, that's adorable!

Yeah, I've decided that when I'm an aunt, I'm going to be the kick-ass aunty who buys all the noisy toys that the kids will LOVE but will drive the parents insane. ;)

That's the best way to be an Aunt. Truly. :D

You have very long arms.

Awww! Precious!

I've only got cousins, but it's always nice to be known as the fun one. :)

Now that I'm off work until January, hubby and I are going to drop the kidlet off at school in the morning and then spend the day doing the Christmas shopping. Although I am further along than you...However, he normally gets out of doing any of the shopping so this is my way of making him be involved whether he wants to or not. :)

Disneyland yesterday was *awesome*, although crowded as all hell. The castle is OMG so gorgeous it isn't even funny. I got *stunning* pics!

I made a bit of headway with the shopping. I called all family members involved, *damn* amusing conversations took place, and I really am now looking at gift cards. :D

I can't even imagine the crowds there right now. I saw a picture of the new castle decorations - that was one thing I would have liked to have seen this year. Oh well. I'll have to try and hit it earlier next year.

Awww! It's so great to have a cool aunt! I would be lost without mine. Actually, I should probably draw her a picture EXACTLY like that for Christmas. HMM! *starts looking for crayons*

Awww! Being an auntie rules. I wish I lived close enough to babysit.

It's so much fun. And the 6-year-old boy is a *complete* ham. He started acting goofy during practice - this little bell thing they were doing - because he saw me laughing at him the first time he accidentally did something. I had to stop looking at him otherwise he'd have kept doing it. What a goof. :D

I try to corrupt as much as possible...
