We were at the grocery store picking up Ella's prescription (poor girl has an ear infection, a sore throat-the doctor said so- a UTI, and her front tooth is coming down. Ouch) She was so sad and whiny and really needed a nap...
As I was unbuckling her from the shopping cart seat she stopped whimpering and got really excited. Arms flapping, excited smile, shrieking, the works. And what was the cause of her excitement? I turned around and noticed a giant (quite frightening) Santa Claus staring back at us. "Merry Christmas, Ella!" I said, and she just looked at me and grinned. I know she doesn't know who Santa is, but it still warmed my heart.
I've waited my whole life to experience the holidays with the child. Every moment has been magical so far.

Wrap it up
Run as fast as you can to your nearest Target and see if they have any of this fantastic Christmas wrapping paper and tissue in their $1 section (I get so excited to see what's there).
The wrapping paper is about 2/3 the size of the regular rolls and you get 40 feet. For $1. Most of my gifts this Christmas are not going to be in large boxes... they are rather small in fact so these rolls are perfect. Besides, I hate throwing away all that excess paper I end up chopping off anyway.
The patterns are darling and the mittens/snowflakes and the striped patterns will even work for Ella's birthday in January. Fantastic.
