Tonight we went out to eat at Chili's (love their 2 for $20 dinners!) and then it was time to hit up Wal-Mart. Each year our church does a community Christmas store to help underprivileged families provide gifts for their children. This year, we are inviting a record of over 800 families to come get gifts for their kids!
This is our shopping cart once we were almost finished loading up. We bought a variety of toys and games for boys and girls of all ages - birth on up. I want Brayden to grow up giving and wanting to help others, and to instill that in him at a young age!

AMC's littlest fan
Last month I took a video of Brayden that I've been attempting to fix (mainly because I took half of the video sideways!) but I've given up now.
So you all know that I'm a huge closet fan of All My Children and have been since I was...3? 4 maybe?
Well, apparently, little man is too... Check out AMC's littlest fan!

My Dining Room Accessory
Remember me posting about needing a dining room hutch?
I finally got one! A local store that has some really neat things had a sale going on. I finally found a hutch that I liked and I called every where pricing it out and they had it for the least expensive price.
Here it is! I just set everything up today with help from my mom. I finally have a place to display my wedding china and silver.
The two things on top (and the one in the center on the above pic) are antique cake stands that I bought in California.

Christmas gift for the tall person in your life...
I'm a little embarrassed to admit to this.
But...I have a confession.
For the last decade I have never had pajamas that actually fit me. Sad! I know! But while perusing the internet the other day I made a discovery.
It's called "Old Navy - Women's TALL."
What?!
Yes, it's true. Old Navy makes PJ's for us tall people. I had been wanting to find (don't laugh!) matching Christmas pajamas for Chris, Brayden and I but I just a.) couldn't find any I liked and b.) couldn't find any that would fit me so that I didn't look totally ridiculous in pictures.
I personally think Chris was overjoyed by that little discovery.
So now, I have Christmas PJ's for me, even though they don't make them for men. Bummer.

Update...
This is going to be short because I feel half dead.
I just want to give an update on how the Couch to 5k is going. I'm on day 1 of week 2 (there's 3 days per week) and I am hating every second of it. BUT, I've lost over a pound! Yay! And I will say that I do think each day it gets a little bit easier.
No idea what I'm talking about? Go here.
And THANK YOU for all the compliments on my hair! For those that asked, I cut about 5" off! And, shockingly, Chris loves it! He was dead set against it (especially when I told him I was putting brown in my hair!) but he really, really likes it! I adore my hairdresser! I think she's a miracle worker!

The BIG hair appt...
I went short! And darker too. It's hard to tell from this pic but there are some really chunky low-lights. I'm LOVING it! There's also a little side bang action, but I guess I pushed it back without noticing!
What do you think?
