Our Christmas is going to be VERY expensive this year,
but DH & I have decided to go ahead & get our kids each a gift from grandma, since it's only been a handful of days since she was last with us.
They have enjoyed receiving beautiful gifts from grandma their entire lives .... for them to forfeit that so close to the holiday is a cruel reality.
Mom DID leave us money, and I know that this would make her very happy to know that we are including her in the gift giving this year.
As for the Nespresso .... the link is @ the bottom.
So now our Christmas costs are being driven thru the roof .... but oh well. I'm so grateful that we CAN actually do this.
Ds' Christmas wishlist included an electric guitar.
While this IS what we bought him, if not for it being "from grandma" he would have gotten the guitar that is not nearly as nice.
Dd#2 has indicated an iPad but the one she wants is $450 (we'd do it but she's asking for other things & she has a Nook that allows her to get on the internet .... I think I'm making the right decision ..... thoughts???). The other wishlist items indicate Ugg slippers, yoga pants, etc .... I'll get these & wrap them from grandma.
Now dd#1 ... this Nespresso machine.

??
Is there something else that would be just as good? I don't mind the cost .... I just am not familiar with this AT ALL.
I remember Starbucks had something, but I don't know if it's along the same line.
And I DO have to get busy here .... Christmas is coming & I am not as prepared as I would like to be!
Thanks for your help.
