Wrapped

This weekend I spent a lot of time organizing and wrapping all the Christmas presents. It went fairly smoothly except for the fact that I made the mistake of showing Carter one of his cousin, Simon's Christmas presents.

After a melt down I've never seen in real life {only heard about on Animal Planet} the Lotso Bear Toy Story 3 dump truck now belongs to him.I know I shouldn't have given in, but I seriously packed the truck back up into it's standard shipping box and put it upstairs with all the other standard shipping boxes, and Carter managed to sniff out the Lotso truck {maybe he smelled the strawberries?} and rip open the box.

At that point I thought he deserved it.

Brynnie loved the truck too!
And no worries, Simon, a replacement truck has already been purchased {thanks Grammy!}

These pics are too cute not to share... :)So, while Bob kept an eye on the kiddos, I got to wrapping. But first things first...
And I may or may not have been playing with the Hess truck. What? I was making sure it worked for Carter.

When I really got down to business, I managed to wrap every single gift that we had so far. The only thing left to wrap are Ben & Gracie's gifts {they just came in last night, woo hoo!} and my dad's gift {the one and only thing I plan to throw in a gift bag.}

Baby Stella wins as the most difficult gift to wrap this year... But she also wins as the cutest gift too. I think Brynnie will love her!
And a few of the other gifts... Oh, it looks like I did use one other gift bag. But in my defense, there are about 6 Chuggington trains in there that I just did not want to wrap individually. Sorry Carter Man!

Mama's little helper while her brother was napping...
So, I have a confession: After comparing Carter's gifts to Brynn's, I feel kinda bad.

Santa was extremely practical this year. The big guy gave me hints as to what he bought made for my kids and Brynnie got mostly clothes. She did get the Baby Stella doll and this Fisher Price Crawl & Cruise Musical Jungle thing but that's about it.

I know I shouldn't feel bad... she's 6 months ahem, 7 months old on Christmas Eve! She has no clue what is going on and would probably be happy with an empty gift bag with tissue paper in it. {Actually... so would Carter.} But I still feel kinda bad that Carter got all these fun presents, and Brynnie got clothes. And a pretty jacket. Oh well...

I know that she will get A TON of toys from her aunties, grandparents and other family members, so I shouldn't feel too bad for her. She's very spoiled. And more toys in our house is just about the last thing we need...

So, I have a question for you: Should I wrap all the clothes we got Santa made her?
Right now, everything is hanging in her closet. I only wrapped her two toy presents because, honestly, she may need to wear a few of those outfits before Christmas... she's growing like a weed! {And is this where I should also admit that my almost 7 month old is wearing 18m clothing?}

So, how are you guys making out with your shopping??? Are you finished? Do you have everything ready??

I'm basically done except for a few things I need to pick up {pictures I had printed, a gift for our puppy Kai, etc.} on Thursday when I have off. I'll also be spending most of this week helping my mama who has pneumonia and obviously doesn't feel well. Last night I finished up her wrapping for her {is it weird that she made me write "To: Jennifer From: Santa" on the tags? I actually LOVE that my mom still does that} and my 2 sisters and I made about 5-6 dozen homemade chocolate chips cookies. YUM.

4 more days!
