This morning I had a coffee date with Tina and baby Harper at Barnes and Nobles. Harper was her normal happy self and just smiled any time I talked to her. After coffee we decided to walk down to World Market and do a little stocking stuffer shopping. I was able to get everything I needed for Marshall's stocking from there. It was great! I highly recommend World Market for great stocking stuffers from candy to knick knacks.
After I said goodbye to them I went to Target to get Marshall's Christmas Eve gift - pajamas! It is a tradition in my family to open one gift on Christmas Eve and that gift is always pajamas! When I was a kid it was always Christmas pajamas but now it is really anything that falls in the pajama department. I also bought an outfit for the baby. I know Marshall will probably hate that I did, but after looking through all the baby stuff we had I realized we didn't even have a newborn outfit to bring the baby home from the hospital in. So I found this pretty cute little sweater outfit with matching hat and I got it. He at least needed something to come home in. I called my Dad while I was out and made plans to meet him for lunch at Island's - my treat. I figured it would be the only way he would agree to actually come out and eat and besides I would like a little company.
After lunch I continued my shopping, only this time for me. I went to Old Navy in search of some maternity exercise pants. I figured if I'm going to go to Zumba on a regular basis I'm gonna need some maternity exercise pants. I ended up getting a couple of other shirts too while I was there. I went home after that to work on Brandy's lingerie invitations. It took some time to get the template right for the invitation as I was doing them completely from scratch. After I printed all of them it took even longer to get the first sleeve done. But once I was done, I used that one as the template for all the rest. It still took most of the evening to make them all, but I was really happy with the finished product. Now I hope Brandy just likes them! Instead of mailing the ones for my family, I'm taking them with me to Goldsboro tomorrow to hand deliver them at our Family Christmas get together. Marshall worked until midnight, but I talked to him for a little bit when he got off since I was just then finishing up the invitations.
