Presents, please!

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Hank and I finished up our Christmas shopping... and thanks to my good friend, Crystal Dawn, I got most of it wrapped and ready yesterday.... wanna see?? Here's the presents that can go under the tree. You know, presents to each other and to relatives.
And here is the super secret stash in the storage room that's ready to go, too!

Since Alabama is having a banner season, a lot of them are sports gifts themed, but I don't believe that any of the recipients would object! And, remember, all of Hankie's family is out of state, so were there is an abundance of it here... not so much there!

Did you see the long present wrapped in the the red and white hounds tooth print in the front of the tree?? That one came from a sporting goods store for sure. Any guesses?

Where did the time go?

After Christmas, I plan to start saving some money for mine and Hank's anniversary. We've been together, dating and all, for 8 years. In April, we celebrate 6 years of marital bliss! On our first anniversary, Hank did some research and found our that it was traditional to give me a pearl necklace set, so that's what he did. I love it and wear it often! I did the paper theme and gave him a gift certificate. Since then, we've been too busy having and taking care of our three children to fool with it much. This year, I'm planning something special. As you may know, my husband is a University of Alabama alum and a HUGE fan (to say the least)! He has 3 Daniel Moore prints that have never been properly framed. For Christmas, my parent's framed one for him and I plan to frame one or both of the remaining prints for our anniversary. I know it doesn't seem very romantic... I mean, it isn't a pearl necklace... but I can guarantee you he is gonna squeal like a little girl when he gets them! They mean that much to him!
