I booked a mini holiday photo session for B last night. I'm so excited! Going to use the pictures to make Christmas cards. Now I have to decide what he should wear...
What are your favorite wish list tracking sites? I used Pinterest boards but ended up with multiples of a lot of things. I would use Amazon, but many items aren't on Amazon. I don't want my family to have to login anywhere...just to access the list and check off that they bought it.

Amazon lets you add items from other websites to your wish list. You add a bookmark to your browser and clicking it while on another site adds a link to that item to your chosen Amazon list.

Thank you for being smarter than I am! I need help with the world.

Re Santa wrapping presents: my parents wanted it to take us a while on Christmas morning so the presents were wrapped. We would pick out our own paper and "mail" it to Santa so we knew which pile was ours.
One year my mom sent my dad and sister (7 years younger ) out so she could wrap. My sister's paper was this hideous pink and left pink residue all over my mom's hands that would not wash off. The next morning my sister gets the same residue on her hands and doesn't make the connection. She was like..8. Poor thing.
I like the idea of Santa gifts being in a specific paper every year. astheria, red shiny paper is a great idea. Stockings in the panpan household will also be from Santa.
I think I am getting J a bigger gift (I like THIS even though he won't use it for a few months. Then I will fill his stocking with a book, a bottle, and maybe a rattle. He will probably get an outfit or two as well.
I actually had to ask my mom how she had the same paper every year. I had assumed she bought a truckload then stored it in the attic or something. But nope. She said patterns change but they always had plain red paper. No other presents were in it except stockings and Santa gifts so it was extra magical.
Regarding grandparents going overboard. My grandmother called and told me instead of the plastic play house they were going to get the kids, she found a beautiful cedar one...$549! Wtf grandma? And she's still sending me $150 for myself plus something for the baby. Holy crap.
We had our mini session the other day and Ava managed to scratch herself on the car ride there and then kept having huge spit ups so then she was cold since it was outdoors and was not having it. I really hope we still got some good shots anyway!

B has been scratching his face lots, I was actually just thinking about how he'll have to wear mitts for a couple days before the pictures lol. Your photographer can probably photoshop out a scratch though. Feel fee to share the finished product
Yes, Santa does stockings for us too, and one gift (usually whatever we wanted the most).
It's probably too early for our LOs to open presents this year, but a tip I heard is to wrap presents for babies in tissue paper because it's easier for them to rip open.
twinkbrite, queenb, E has her mini session on Friday and has just gotten a spot on her cheek.. I am debating asking her to touch up the photos to get rid of it but feel like it's a bit vain to ask is she can photoshop my baby... thoughts? haha

It's a great gift. Emma has the house one and still plays with jr at 2 years old.

It might be gone by Friday... If you're BF try putting a little milk on it. If it's still noticeable in the photo, I'd totally get it touched up! It's not like you're changing your child's appearance... You're probably paying lots of money for the pictures, I wouldn't feel bad having them "enhanced" so you get what you want.
