Christmas shopping is complete

We are done with our Christmas shopping!! This has got to be a first in our household.

Kirsten and I took a couple of days away from the kids, letting my parents were watch them. We took a trip to the coast and stayed at a very nice hotel over looking the beach. The weather was perfect, sunny and no wind, about 60 degrees. While we were there, we took a couple of nice walks on the beach and went out to eat a couple of times. Once at Mo's (a tradition) and once at a very nice restaurant.

Also, we did a lot of shopping at a factory outlet mall. We were able to score some great deals on clothes for the kids among other things.

After a couple of nights at the coast, we left early and got back into town several hours before we were to pick up our kids. We shopped for that time and got everything we needed to get for the kids (both ours and the nephew's) for Christmas and Emily's Birthday and almost everything for the exchange presents for the extended family (some items are perishable and need to bought later).

This is truly amazing for us. In years past, we have still been shopping a few days before Christmas.

All in all, we are
