It's that time of year again!

Well, family, Christmas is coming once again, the reason, for the most part, that this blog even exists! I hope we'll all take advantage of it, because otherwise I'll have no idea what to get my person.
Here are our Christmas lists:

Me: a professional outfit for job interviews (or gift card to a store where I can get one).
-a nice button-up shirt with a collar (doesn't have to be white, something cute but professional),
-a matching cardigan/jacket to go over it (maybe in a neutral color)
-black or gray pants (or skirt), maybe with those subtle stripes. I've always been a fan of those.

Anyways, I know it's practically impossible to get nice clothing like that for under $75, so maybe you could talk to my mom and coordinate if she maybe wants to get part of it; I don't know if she does. My sizes are 8-9 in most pants, and since I never lost the weight from Chaela, large shirts from everywhere except Old Navy, where I wear a medium. :(

For Will: (exasperated sigh)
-"Dark Knight" on Blu-Ray
Other than that, he's just saying, "I don't know." He's a fan of video games, but none of the ones he wants are coming out until after Christmas. A gift card to Best Buy might be your best option.

For Chaela: pretty much anything
-18mo sized clothes for warm weather would be the best, if you can find any
-12 mo for now would be ok, but she already has a lot. If you do get some, warm weather is still preferable, since we're moving to Memphis.
(note: she's really small, so these sizes are the biggest she'll need all year, I promise)
-Board books, really anything, but here are some suggestions.
*Anything Dr. Seuss (she already has "A Wocket in my Pocket")
* The Hungry Caterpillar
-Whatever toys. She doesn't really play with them much, though. She prefers to play with things that are NOT toys.
Disney/Children's movies:
*Beauty and the Beast
* The Little Mermaid
*Snow White
*whatever else you want. She doesn't really watch movies all the way through yet, but I want to start building her collection now so that she'll have some when she starts. My mom is going to let me pick through her DVD collection, which is huge, so maybe if you happen to talk to my mom she can give you a better idea of things Chaela won't have.
So that's my family. I hope other people start getting their lists up soon. I can't wait to see you all in a few weeks!!
