Well, I made an online purchase last night, but it's...hmmm...maybe I should put this off until later because I just realized that Hannah may be reading what I'm writing.
OK. We'll try this. I made an adjustment to the position of my computer. I made and online purchase from a used book store. I got 6 books for her. She'll get a few for her birthday, and the rest in her stocking. Also today I got a scooter for her from Toys R Us and an Easy Bake Oven. Now, I realize the oven may be too advanced for her, but I'd love to help her with it, and she saw it in the toy catalog and really wanted it, once she realized it made real food. Dusty thinks she really wants to emulate me, since I bake a lot, and this is "her size," which she says a lot about smaller things. Those things make her very excited. :) We're going to give her the oven, and some supplements to make other foods, for Christmas, and the scooter for her birthday.
Now I just need to get something for Seth. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get him some Toy Story toys. They love that movie, and I think he'd be overjoyed about that. Target had a pack with several of the toys that didn't get top billing in the movie. He already has Buzz and Woody, and I happen to know that for Christmas Jessie will be entering our house from another gift giver, so the other toys would make a nice set. I'm not 100% on this yet. I'll have to see what's out there, and in stock.
I appreciate the support on the Santa thing and the non-materialistic thing. I'm thinking about having the kids pick one toy that they like and give it away to someone that doesn't have a lot of toys. Then they get to get into the spirit of giving, and not just getting. I'm not sure I'll follow through with this, but I'm considering it. We'll see...
