Christmas Deal's

Although it isn't even Thanksgiving I am already thinking of Christmas and shopping.  One of the things I wanted to get Tempe was a Leapfrog Tag Junior.

They retail for $35.99.  I saw on another blog (sorry not sure which one) that a lady had bought the Toy Story 3 one on clearance for $19.98 and used a Target coupon for $10 off and a Leapfrog one for $5 off so she got it for $4.98!!!  WOW what a deal!  After calling around Target stores none of them had the Toy Story one.  I headed to Target anyway.  Unfortunately my printer wouldn't print off the Leapfrog coupon but I was able to get it on sale at Target for $29.99 and then used their $10 off coupon and so I paid only $19.99 for it!!  Toys R Us is going to have it on sale the day after Thanksgiving for $17.99 so for $2 more I didn't have to fight that crowd!!!  YAY!

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Christmas is coming soon!!

I can NOT believe Christmas is right around the corner!  It is my favorite holiday.  I used to be really good at sending Christmas cards and then slacked off a little but this year with the help of Shutterfly I am going to be getting 50 FREE to send out!  I can remember being a child at home and when it got to be Thanksgiving I would check the mail everyday from then until Christmas looking for Christmas cards.  My dad owns his own business so most of them were from clients.  But I would open them and look at the pictures and read all of the sayings. 

Now all of you know how I am about pictures so this offer is great for me!  I can't help but send out pictures of us as a family.  We have a lot of family and friends that don't live around here so what a better way to show how much Tempe has grown.

For all of my blogging friends here is the link so that you too can get 50 FREE cards from Shutterfly!

I have already been looking and found these three that I like:

I love the monogram on this one!  And that you can add several pictures.

This one is really neat!  You have to click on the link and check it out.  On the inside it has a place for 4 different pictures and a little note to go with each.  Would be great to tell about Tempe or things that happened trough out the year.

And this one I just think is so pretty!

I am going to have a hard time picking which one to get.  I have seen Shutterfly's work many times and know it is wonderful so I am not worried at all and know that this is one thing I can check off my list already!  Even if you are not a blogger go check out their holiday cards here.  They have a lot of specials going on right now.  A great gift idea is their Photo Books or Calendars!

Tempe's New Bling

We FINALLY made it to the mall to have Tempe's ears pierced!  We have been wanting to do them for over 6 months now but I wouldn't take her without the hubby and he just has not had time.  It was a last minute, we aren't going to church, we will park and go straight to store before having to be somewhere else trip!!  She did so good!! 

They were not able to do both at the same time but it was ok.  She didn't even flinch with the first one.

But got a little upset with the second.  She was more mad than hurt. 

She has been great at not messing with them today though.  I love them on her.  She looks so big now!!
