Whew. <BR/><BR/>And Juli, I wasn't kidding about the tights issue! In years past, I often forgot about those little details until Christmas Eve. Now, checking on the clothing situation and all its attendant details really HAS become part of my "week before Christmas" routine.Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-73004003471005623252008-12-18T20:46:00.000-06:002008-12-18T20:46:00.000-06:00I know you may have been joking, but I don't have ...I know you may have been joking, but I don't have tights for two of my daughters! In all fairness I have looked for them for my youngest, but they don't seem to carry infant tights in any stores! I didn't actually think of them for my oldest. My middle daughter only wears dress, so she has them (but doesn't like to wear them).Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018410089123702810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-65962403970469596922008-12-18T16:36:00.000-06:002008-12-18T16:36:00.000-06:00NO I DON'T HAVE TIGHTS!

And I've just put in an Amazon order that will take care of the girls' Christmas gifts. For our no frills Christmas I think we're all set.

It's all part of the extraspecial gift He's given me this year.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I hope Atticus' tights weren't forgotten. :)Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-20776509110774462242008-12-18T13:46:00.000-06:002008-12-18T13:46:00.000-06:00I have been enjoying this series so much - and thi...I have been enjoying this series so much - and this post in particular was hilarious in ways I'm sure it wasn't in real life. Mind you, my favourite thing about you is how you are so real.

A *true* fake would've just let us all believe that you are calm, cool, collected and utterly untouchable, leaving us feeling hopelessly inferior.<BR/><BR/>Now we can all just settle into hoplessly ... normal.

Thank you so much for putting your amazing creative energies into doing this! Definitely one for the permanent file.<BR/><BR/>Your fan,<BR/>Eileen :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
