Thinking about Christmas

Barb usually yells at me for thinking of Christmas this time of year, but this year, she called me! She mentioned that with six grandparents, four great-grandparents, numerous aunts, uncles, and adopted relatives, May is likely to get a HUGE HAUL for Christmas. And, there's a chance that there might be... Overlap.

We don't mind overlap. May is half Nielsen and we Nielsen's (Conn. branch only, mom excepted) are hard on things. Two is often better than one. But!

If you're worried that you might be buying something that someone else is buying, Barb (who called me this year!) has agreed to be....



So please let her know if you want to buy May something, say, out of the L.L. Bean catalog that arrived on everyone's doorsteps this week. (And don't want someone else to have bought it already. Like I said, we are happy for duplicates.)

Also, a new feature in the blog. Amanda's favorite bumper sticker for the week. This week, US out of VT

Finally, some lovely photos of my lovely daughter.
