One Month...and counting!

Only 31 days until Christmas. That ain't good, considering I still have a lot of shopping to do! I have most of the adults taken care of which is a big relief, but still need to get stuff for the kiddos. I'll probably hit a few stores on Friday, looking for a good deal, but who knows if I"ll find any! LOL I'll probably just spend too much money and come home w/ NOTHING!
I still need to buy for:

Madison
Alyssa
April
Leo
Kimble
Freddie
Vinny
Jeremiah

and I haven't bought anything for my girls or Steven. We will have a small Christmas at home. We always do. The girls will get 3 presents. Why? Jesus got 3 presents and I really don't think my girls are any better than He is. Don't you agree? :) Besides, they need absolutely NOTHING and will get waaaaaaaaaaay more than a whole village would need.
Christmas kinda stresses me out b/c both of our families go WAAAY overboard, buying TONS of gifts, although we've asked them to cut back. I do not want Natali thinking of Christmas as the way most kids do, but I don't really know what to do. I hate taking new toys from her just to keep her "grounded" but how do I make sure she isn't spoiled rotten? Oh, the joys of parenthood.
