The Season Starts

I have 14 people on my Christmas list.

I must say that is a lot better than having 53...which is how many people are in my family plus 3. But I am proud to say that I, Ashlee Lynne Hatch, am more than half way done with my Christmas shopping. This would be no big deal for those of you who are not Bart (which I'm safe to say is everyone), since you have not seen the behind-the-scenes, Christmas time Ashlee, who procrastinates buying presents until a week-and-a-half before the big day and prays that everything she bought online will be shipped in time. It's quite nice getting it all done sooner than later. Did I mention it's only December 1st? Ahhh, so nice.

Now, as soon as all the presents are bought, I get to enjoy my absolute FAVORITE part of Christmas. Wrapping the presents. I love wrapping presents. All you have to do is look at my wrapping paper and curly ribbon collection to know that I love wrapping presents. That being said...if any of you need to wrap Christmas presents (or any presents in general) and dread doing it yourself...bring them over. I would love to wrap them for you. I'm getting giddy just thinking about all the wrapping I get to do. :)

And just because I hate posting without a picture, I have enclosed a more recent photo of my darling Jack-Jack, who is (I hate to say it) 9 months old.

How he got so big, I cannot tell you, but he sure is a cutie.
