Mostly wrapped, but this year, He's bringing bikes, and I dont think he can wrap those. :)

Oh wow.. too bad I didnt see this yesterday. I'm going to go today and see what they have left at mine. Thanks for letting us know OP> :)

I like the santa idea :)

Now thats just rotten! Why would someone do that? If you cant, fine. If you decide, "eh its not for me.." fine. But at least say something!!!

I think my mom made pinapple squares a long time ago. She also made Lemon squares, and cherry squares. (I just got done making the cherry squares.)

So when do we say who we are? Or do you do that eve? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next year, I"ll be sure to do all 3, instead of just the one (SS). You all looked like you had so much fun exchanging cards. :)

Chalk up 4 pumpkin rolls for me today. :) 4 more to go.

I thought I was done till half my shipments for DH wont be in till after xmas. But he's a big boy and he'll have to be okay with a picture of the item. Baking I'm half way done. Got most of the cookies out of the way, just have to do the bigger stuff that use the pans. wrapping, I"m about 3/4 done.

Does he need a new bike?

Oh you are not alone in this! I am going thru this this year myself. I dont know how christmas morning is going to be, I'm just grateful we have to get on the road first thing, so no time to throw tantrums. lol

My boys dont "do" xmas outfits, so I'm with mgmckny and Dramaqueenlucy, if they are clean, i'm happy. :)

I agree, a nice christmas card now and then a thank you card after the holiday. :)

That the way I do it too. I use the 4 pack of reg. biscuits, and cut them in quarters.

Well, since my DS is the same age, these are the types of things I think would interest him. - CD (even though he has an Ipod, he can rip songs from it, and load on the ipod. - Axe gift set (with shower gel and deodorant) - Football cards (he's bigtime into collecting) - Handheld electronic games (I saw they have are you smarter than a 5th grader out for $15-20) - Board games (monopoly, battleship, clue, checkers, etc.) Have you been on Amazon.com in the last week? You can get 2-4 gifts for Under $20 for his age group. Free shipping might be over, but it still might be worth a looksy. Good luck. :)

I try to get the same number of gifts, but my DS12 understands alittle better that his gifts cost a lot more. I'm sure if you explain to him, either before christmas or right after, he'll surprise you with understanding. I might have missed it, but what age is your son? We might be able to come up with some cool/cheap ideas for you. :)

Hurry, sale ENDS TODAY at 12 Noon ET!

I got a question, i'm hoping someone can help me out.. On the cake mix cookie recipe, is there a way to add cocoa to the white cake mix to make them taste like chocolate cookies? I have 2 boxes of white cake mix and some cocoa, just didnt want to run to the store to get more cake mix, when I have some here. (and if so.. how much?) TIA. :)

Just got done making 1 batch of cake mix cookies, and now working on Choc. chip. :) in between I had to make some Pepperoni rolls. LOL

Wow.. I would have never guessed they sold those LOL

this is what we make... Christmas Breakfast Sausage Casserole 1 pound ground pork sausage 1 teaspoon mustard powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 eggs, beaten 2 cups milk 6 slices white bread, toasted and cut into cubes 8 ounces mild Cheddar cheese, shredded DIRECTIONS Crumble sausage into a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown; drain. In a medium bowl, mix together mustard powder, salt, eggs and milk. Add the sausage, bread cubes, and cheese, and stir to coat evenly. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover, and bake 45 to 60 minutes. Uncover, and reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until set.

LOL sorry but I think its hilarious. :) crossing out the Birthstone Kid Charms- and replace with her MaryKay Reps Phone #. Thats kinda humorous. I can understand the hurt feelings. So in the spirit of christmas, maybe get her one more thing, that she didnt ask for. Just to surprise her. ?

If anyone is interested, they also have NFL jackets for kids.. $30/each (Med-Weight) http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=94514

Besides my kids & DH, there are teachers and a few kids the boys are friends with. Both our families have either a gift exchange or non at all, so only about 2 gifts there. And then I have 2 nieces and a nephew. So all in all.. about 12.

I havent counted yet.. I think i'll be upset when I do. I think I had @7 each, but that was BEFORE amazon!
