Mother in law is getting a print from The Art of Disney. It is a drawing of Mickey making Mickey pancakes. She loves Disney and always makes the kids Mickey pancakes. I hope she loves it.
Mom is getting a purse she wants plus some other stuff I haven't thought of yet.
Dad is getting art supplies and an Amazon Echo.

We put them out once wrapped, whenever that happens to be. I might save a few of our wrapped gifts just to up the wow factor on Christmas morning but usually (unwrapped) Santa gifts are what appear on Christmas morning. I imagine Santa won't be around much longer here so I might change what I do once he's out of the picture.

I have to constantly spell my first name. It is an ordinary spelling but my name has an abundance of common spellings and some real oddball spellings. It was not a popular name when I was a kid but came into popularity later.

On the topic of people getting mad when you misspell the name I remember when I worked at the YMCA childcare in college. Parents signed the kids in and then we gave the kids nametags. Once I glanced at the check in and wrote a tag for Hannah. The mom was furious. He daughter's name was Hannan. She had written it in a way that definitely made it look like an h and I'd never heard the name Hannan before (or since). I remember vividly because she seemed so unnecessarily upset with me.

We get a 5x7 for $15.00 when we go to the Light Up event at my alma mater university. It is more expensive at the mall. The mall here with the best Santa is expensive for one picture where SAnta spends 5 seconds with you or you can buy their even more expensive package and actually get decent pictures. We did that one year, picked a year when the boys were both still young but both willing to see Santa.

What about an Amazon Echo or the like?

I have a cold with a bad cough and I stayed home today. We have far too many elderly people in our church and I don't want to be the reason for them getting sick at all.

Apple pie is my oldest son's favorite dessert. I make one from The Food Allergy Mama's Baking Book because he has multiple allergies. Everyone enjoys it.

Mouth pain is awful. I had an abscessed tooth once that I thought was going to kill me. Hope you feel better soon!

This is good information. I need to step up my game in regards to practice! Thus far I've always just sent my son to practice and I listen in once in awhile.

My swimmer (he's 9) just had his second meet (he missed a month with a broken elbow). He got a lesson in what to do when everything goes wrong. His first race was a 200 free. First flip turn he lost his goggles. He's literally never had that happen. He was so thrown that race. He finished, in last place, but I was proud of how he handled it. The next day his first race was the 100 free. I was more nervous than he was but he did great! He didn't place but he got back on that horse. He also shaved 3 seconds off his 50 breaststroke time. I was proud of him the whole meet especially considering he'd only been back to practice for a week after cast removal. It was his first large meet ever! (He's done small city meets previously). I can't wait to watch him grow in the sport.

Psych, or in a pinch, Gilmore Girls. I've seen both so many times I can listen without watching. Otherwise I just lay there worrying.
